Administramos

Administramos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb administrar. It translates as “we administer” or “we manage” and is used when the subject of the sentence is a group that includes the speaker.

Etymology and form: Administrar comes from Latin administrare, formed from ad- “toward” and ministrare “to serve or to manage.” In Spanish, regular -ar verbs form the present tense by adding endings to the stem; for nosotros/as the ending is -amos, yielding administramos.

Usage and examples: The form is employed across domains such as business, government, and everyday speech to indicate active management of resources, processes, or institutions. Examples include “Nosotros administramos el presupuesto” and “Administramos el proyecto juntos.” It also appears in compound tenses with haber, as in “hemos administrado” or imperfect “administrábamos.”

Grammatical notes: Because Spanish allows subject pronouns to be omitted, administramos may appear without an explicit subject when the context makes the subject clear. The verb is regular and follows standard -ar conjugation patterns; other persons are yo administro, tú administras, él/ella administra, nosotros administramos, vosotros administráis, ellos/ellas administran.
