Quick question... What's the difference between "jamás" and "nunca"? I know they both mean never, I just don't know when you'd use one over the other. Thanks :) - Traci

"Jamás" and "nunca" have the same meaning , for instance:

Nunca hablé mal de Ana.
Jamás hablé mal de Ana.

Nunca he ido a un concierto de Doors.
Jamás he ido a un concierto de Doors.

Ella y él jamás volverán a cantar juntos.
Ella y él nunca volverán a cantar juntos

Regards.

Yep, it's just what Osvaldo said, 'Never' means "nunca" while 'Never ever' means "jamás". "Jamás" sounds more powerful and we usually say it when we are sure we won't (do anything, eat, drink, dance or whatever) again! Just like in English I'd say :)

Sin sinonimos, ambas se pueden usaro, en cierto grupo de amigos usamos mucho una frase: "JAMAS en la vida!!", para hacer referencia a situaciones que NUNCA hemos realizado y tampoco volveremos a hacer jeje
