Tips to remember the word ‘nos’ in Spanish:
1. Associate it with the phrase “Nosotros” which is the full word: ‘Nosotros’ means “we” and ‘nos’ is used as a direct, indirect object, or reflexive pronoun meaning “us” or “ourselves.”
2. Think of the English pronoun “us,” which is similarly short and often used in the same contexts where you would use ‘nos’ in Spanish.

Explanations:
‘Nos’ is an object pronoun in Spanish that can serve as either a direct or indirect object, or as part of a reflexive verb construction. It represents the 1st person plural (us/we).

Other words that mean the same thing:
– ‘Nosotros’ or ‘nosotras’ are subject pronouns and mean “we” when referring to a group that includes the speaker. The form ‘nosotras’ is used when the group is all female.
– There are no exact synonyms for ‘nos’ as it is a pronoun, but phrases like “a nosotros” or “para nosotros” can sometimes be used to emphasize the recipients in certain constructions.

Alternate meanings like slang:
‘Nos’ doesn’t have a slang meaning per se, but it could be used colloquially in expressions like “Nos vemos” (See you), where it’s understood as “us” or “we’ll see each other”.

Examples of sentences that use ‘nos’:
1. “El profesor nos dio los libros.” (The teacher gave us the books.)
2. “Nos vamos a la playa este fin de semana.” (We are going to the beach this weekend.)
3. “Nos vemos a las ocho.” (See you at eight.)
4. “Nos encanta la música latina.” (We love Latin music.)
5. “La película nos hizo llorar.” (The movie made us cry.)
6. “Nos compramos una casa nueva.” (We bought ourselves a new house.)
7. “Nos duele la cabeza después de estudiar tanto.” (Our head hurts after studying so much.)
