¿Y cómo se relacionan entre sí?

And as Perikles said, "each other"

I'm going to try and connect the two computers to each other.
Animal mothers and their offspring recognize each other
There are big differences between individual people.

OK, thanks you both.

I see you used "between" in your example and there are more than two elements. Would you mind to you explain to me why?

Thanks.

Thanks.

To wit (mine, as short as it might be):

Among = two elements

Amongst = three and up elements

Between = two and up elements

It is perfectly acceptable English. I suppose you would imagine taking two individuals from the crowd and comparing each pair directly. Whichever two you compare, there is a difference between them.

1) among and amongst are interchangeable

2) You would never say "There are big differences amongst people"

Too much imagination...

I was taught that, regarding among and amongst.

Right. I would never use it like that, not for comparisons.
As I understand those, they mean "in the midst".
