Aterrizamos

Aterrizamos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb aterrizar, meaning to land or touch down, especially in aviation. The form can function as present tense (we land) or preterite tense (we landed) depending on context, since some verb forms in Spanish can overlap between tenses.

Aterrizar is a regular -ar verb. In present tense the forms are: yo aterrizo, tú aterrizas, él/ella/Ud. aterriza, nosotros aterrizamos, vosotros aterrizáis, ellos/ellas/Uds. aterrizan. In the preterite, the forms include: yo aterricé, tú aterrizaste, él aterrizó, nosotros aterrizamos, vosotros aterrizasteis, ellos aterrizaron. Note that the first-person plural form aterrizamos appears in both present and preterite, and context determines the intended tense. In many Spanish varieties, the second-person plural in the preterite is vosotros aterrazasteis (instead of ustedes aterrizaron in Latin America).

Usage and meaning: the primary sense is literal landing of an aircraft or spacecraft, as in El avión aterrizó con seguridad. It can also be used figuratively to mean bringing something to ground or settling a plan or idea, as in aterrizar un proyecto or aterrizar una discusión, though in such cases more common alternatives include tocar tierra and completar or concretar.

Noun form: the related noun is aterrizaje, meaning the act or result of landing. The term is widely used across Spanish-speaking regions, with regional variations in pronouns and verb forms.
