Arrivons

Arrivons is the first-person plural present indicative form of the French verb arriver. Arriver means to reach a destination, to come, or to occur, and the form arrivons is used to express that the action is taking place now or habitually by “we.” As a conjugated form, it functions with the subject nous to indicate the action of the speaker and others.

Arriver is a regular -er verb, so its present indicative forms follow the standard pattern: j’arrive, tu arrives, il/elle arrive, nous arrivons, vous arrivez, ils/elles arrivent. The stem for the present tense is arriv-, and the endings attach according to person.

In usage, arrivons appears in a variety of contexts. It can denote physical arrival at a place, for example, Nous arrivons à la gare à dix heures (We arrive at the station at ten o’clock). It can also express arrival in a more abstract sense, such as the beginning of a result or event, e.g., Nous arrivons à un accord (We are arriving at an agreement) or Nous arrivons au terme du projet (We are nearing the end of the project). The form is common in everyday speech, journalism, and literature, and it may appear in time expressions or with modifiers to indicate immediacy or near-future nuance.

Notes: arrivons is not a noun or a standalone term; it is a verb form belonging to the broader verb arriver. Its meaning depends on context, often translating to “we arrive” or “we are arriving” in English.
