Capturamos

Capturamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb capturar, meaning “we capture” or “we are capturing.” It is used to describe actions performed by the speaker and others included in the group, such as catching, seizing, obtaining, or recording something. The verb capturar is regular for -ar verbs, so capturamos is formed from the stem captur- plus the -amos ending.

The term can appear in literal contexts, as in “capturamos al sospechoso” (we captured the suspect), and in figurative uses like “capturamos la atención” (we capture attention) or “capturamos datos” (we collect or record data). In journalism, research, and computing, it commonly refers to collecting or recording information, images, or signals. The same spelling, capturamos, also occurs in the preterite tense, meaning “we captured,” when the action is completed in the past; context or time indicators clarify the intended interpretation.

Capturamos is not a proper noun and does not designate a specific entity on its own; its precise meaning depends on the surrounding words. Related forms include capturar (to capture), captura (the act of capturing or a capture as a noun), and capturado (captured). Etymologically, it derives from Latin capturare, from capere “to seize.”
