(uncommon) within, inside Synonym: dentro de Todos nos reímos entre nosotros. ― We all laughed in our heads. ===== Usage notes ===== With the meanings "between", "among" etc., entre (unlike most Spanish prepositions) governs the nominative case and not the prepositional case when used with pronouns: entre yo y mi hermano ― between me and my brother entre tú y ellos ― between you and them entre tú y yo ― between you and me It is one of only two prepositions to take the nominative case, alongside según. In third-person reflexive phrases, though, the reflexive prepositional pronoun sí can be used and is interchangeable with the nominative pronouns él, ella, ellos, ellas: Hablaron entre sí. / Hablaron entre ellos. ― They talked amongst themselves. Diego valora el vínculo entre sí mismo y sus amigos. / ...entre él mismo... ― Diego appreciates the bond between himself and his friends. In modern standard Spanish, the use of entre with the meaning "within" survives primarily in reflexive expressions with verbs such as decir, reírse, pensar etc., where entre indicates that the person was doing something in their own head. Note that with this meaning entre governs the prepositional pronouns mí, ti and sí (rather than yo, tú, él etc.): «¡Qué horror!», dije entre mí. ― "How awful!", I said in my head. ¿Qué pensaste entre ti al oír eso? ― What did you think to yourself when you heard that? Its use as a synonym of dentro de outside of these contexts is now considered archaic and the Royal Spanish Academy discourages such usage, although it can sometimes be found in colloquial speech in some countries in the Americas. ===== Derived terms ===== === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈentɾe/ [ˈẽn̪.t̪ɾe] Rhymes: -entɾe Syllabification: en‧tre ==== Verb ==== entre inflection of entrar: first/third-person singular present subjunctive third-person singular imperative ==== Further reading ==== “entre”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025
