what is amos

Question

Just wanted to know what (amos) in mexican spanish meant?

Answer 1

In england the lady that looks after the home while her husband goes out to work is known as a housewife and in spain she is la ama de la casa but if the spanish couple both went out to work and employed a lady to look after the home I think the lady would be called la ama de la casa so therfore it is the name of the occupation, so ama de la casa = housekeeper.

I agree with Ken on this one. The only context that I have seen "ama" used was to mean either "housewife" or the "man of the house/head of household" - Izanoni1, Oct 15, 2009

Answer 2

I have heard of amo de la casa, head of the household so perhaps it is another name for owner which pluralised would be amos = owners as Q as just posted I think more common tanslation of owner is dueño other than that it could have been spelled wrong and should have been "amas" and not amos which would then make it second person of the verb amar but without context we are just guessing so, what was the context? if for example it was ¿Me amas? it would mean: Do you love me? or !Sí me amas, yes you do love me.

Answer 3

love.

Answer 4

If you check our dictionary it means "owners".

I can't find "amos" in the dictionary Quentin. - ian-hill, Oct 15, 2009

Try "amo" - Izanoni1, Oct 15, 2009

Answer 5

Amo = Master, Ama = Mistress

So

Amos = Masters/Owners

Answer 6

It means "I love"

That would be amo. - 0074b507, Oct 15, 2009
