Clarificamos

Clarificamos is a Spanish verb form, specifically the first-person plural present indicative of clarificar, meaning "we clarify" or "we make clear." The spelling clarificamos is also used for the first-person plural preterite (we clarified), which can create temporal ambiguity in written text without context.

Etymology and morphology: Clarificar derives from Latin clarificare, from clarus “clear” plus -ficare “to make.” Clarificar is a regular -ar verb. Its present tense forms are y o clarifico, tú clarificas, él/ella/usted clarifica, nosotros clarificamos, vosotros clarificáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes clarifican. In the preterite, the nosotros form is also clarify as clarificamos, a feature that can coincide with the present tense form and rely on surrounding context for tense interpretation.

Usage and nuance: In formal or administrative Spanish, clarificamos may introduce an explanatory statement or correction. It is more common to use aclarar in everyday language; clarificar and its forms are often found in legal, academic, or business writing where precision and formality are valued. The term emphasizes making something clear or precise, rather than simply removing confusion. It can appear in sentences such as “Clarificamos los puntos ambiguos del informe” or “Clarificamos que el plazo no se modifica.”

Pronunciation: clarificamos is pronounced [klaɾifikaˈmos]. See also clarificar, aclarar, and other forms of the same verb family.
