con nosotros
/kon nosotɾos/from spelling rules
The phrase "with us" in Spanish is translated as con nosotros.
The phrase is used to indicate that someone or something is in the company of the speaker and others.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of the preposition con (with) and the pronoun nosotros (us).
How does it change in a sentence?
The form con nosotros is used if the group is all male or a mix of males and females. If the group of people being referred to consists exclusively of females, the phrase changes to con nosotras.
Did you know?
- In Spanish, even if a group consists of 99 women and only 1 man, you must use the masculine con nosotros rather than the feminine form.
- The preposition con is a distant relative of the English word 'company'. Both words can be traced back to the same ancient root meaning 'next to' or 'along'.
- In some Spanish-speaking regions, speakers use just nos instead of nosotros to be more general. Adding otros to create nosotros is often used specifically to create a contrast between the speaker's group and another group.
