Did you know?
- When you want to say 'with me' or 'with you' in Spanish, you cannot simply say con mí or con ti. Instead, the phrase changes to conmigo and contigo, fusing the preposition and the pronoun into a single word.
- The Spanish word con is a direct descendant of the Latin word cum, which is the same root found in the English word 'companion', meaning someone who is 'with' you.
- The word con is used in the phrase con permiso, which is a polite way to excuse yourself when passing through a crowd or leaving a room.
