Feb 27 at 21:35 comment added Luke Hutchison Does pareja mean both "partner" (singular) and "couple" (a pair of people)?

Apr 30, 2020 at 13:34 comment added pablodf76 This is a very good answer. The differences have a lot to do with dialect and regional usage. Your observation about the political connotations of compañero/a are spot on and valid for Argentina too, only maybe not so strongly.
Apr 30, 2020 at 7:56 comment added Gorpik I don't like the use of compañero/a with this meaning, because context is not always so clear. For me compañero/a without context is a coworker. I agree that pareja is the best option; I don't like it either, but that's just an irrational pet peeve :)

Apr 30, 2020 at 6:19 comment added fedorqui I agree. For some years, pareja is substituting novio/a very fast
