Tips to remember the word “usan”:

1. Associate “usan” with the English “use,” focusing on their similar spellings and meanings.
2. Think of “usan” as the “U-S-A” in “use” with an “n” at the end to signify the third person plural (they) in Spanish.
3. Remember that “usan” rhymes with “can” to help with pronunciation and recall.

Explanations:

“Usan” is the third person plural form of the verb “usar,” which means “to use” in English. It is used when referring to “they” or “you all” in a formal context in Spanish.

Other words that mean the same thing:

– Emplean (formal or technical contexts)
– Manejan (can mean “they manage,” but also “use” in some contexts)
– Utilizan (a synonym, might be used in more formal or technical contexts)
