Concebimos

Concebimos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb concebir in the present indicative, meaning “we conceive.” It can also be a form in the preterite (we conceived) depending on the tense and context, since the spelling is identical in both cases. Concebir has several related meanings, including forming an idea or plan and becoming pregnant, with subtle differences driven by context.

The verb concebir derives from Latin concipere, meaning to take in, grasp, or form. In modern Spanish, concebir is used across a range of domains, from intellectual and strategic activity to biology and reproduction. Common collocations include concebir un plan, concebir una teoría, or concibir un hijo, reflecting its broad semantic field.

Usage and examples: concebimos una estrategia para el proyecto, meaning we conceive or develop a strategy. En un contexto reproductivo, concebir se emplea para referirse al acto de quedar embarazados, though in everyday speech the pregnancy sense may be expressed with other constructions depending on tense and regional usage. The form concebimos appears frequently in collaborative or formal writing when the subject is a plural group.

Related terms include concepción (conception), concebible (conceivable), and concebirse in reflexive constructions. Conjugation patterns for concebir show concibo, concibes, concibe, concebimos, concebís, conciben, with concebimos functioning as the key plural form in both present and, in some contexts, past tenses.
