A question for Spaniards))
Do you say "los Estados Unidos" or just "Estados Unidos" in Spanish?
My teacher asserts that I should use an article "los" but I've seen this phrase without it in some texts.

just use the article "los" when u wanna say for example...the united states of america is a big nation"...."Los estados unidos de america es una gran nacion"....but whe u refer EEUU like country its ok just to say Estados Unidos....exmple:
Yo vivo en Estados Unidos .....but in latinamerica so many people says: Yo vivo en LOS estados unidos......both sentences are right.

My English is bad. Como sustantivo es Estados Unidos, si nos referimos a EEUU como país, podemos utilizar los, por ejemplo Los Estados Unidos han sido un referente en la producción de coches.
Por decir algo.

we use both forms and is not a mistake to say only "Estados Unidos". We say "los" before because USA is a country composed of many different states. However,I think that is more correct to say "Estados Unidos" because is the country´s name.
