Bedeutung
To reconcile after a disagreement or argument, restoring friendly relations.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Spain, making peace often involves 'ir de cañas' (going for beers). It's a social ritual that signals the conflict is over. Reconciliation is often very emotional and may involve the whole family. 'Hacer las paces' is seen as a way to restore 'la unión familiar'. Argentines are known for long discussions. 'Hacer las paces' usually comes after a very long 'charla' (chat) where everything is analyzed. The term is used frequently in the context of the peace process, but in daily life, it remains the standard for personal apologies.
The 'Z' to 'C' Rule
Remember that in Spanish, words ending in 'z' (like paz) change to 'c' in the plural (paces). This helps you avoid the 'pases' spelling mistake.
Don't forget 'LAS'
It's never just 'hacer paces'. The article 'las' is part of the fixed phrase.
