Questions & Answers about Queremos reencontrarnos para el aniversario de la escuela.
Why is the pronoun nos attached to the end of reencontrar?
Reencontrar is an infinitive (an unconjugated verb). In Spanish, pronouns like nos can be attached directly to the end of infinitives. Because this sentence has a conjugated verb (queremos) followed by an infinitive, you could also place the pronoun at the very beginning: Nos queremos reencontrar para el aniversario.
What does the re- prefix add to encontrarnos here?
Just like in English, the prefix re- means doing something again. While encontrarnos means to meet or find each other, reencontrarnos specifically means to meet again or to reunite.
Why do we use para instead of por for "for the school's anniversary"?
We use para here because the anniversary is a targeted future event or deadline. You can think of it as meeting up "in time for" or "with the purpose of attending" the anniversary.
