Confiamos

Confiamos is the present indicative first-person plural form of the Spanish verb confiar, meaning we trust. It is used to express trust, reliance, or confidence in a person, idea, object, or situation. The form is common in everyday speech and in formal writing alike, and it conveys a sense of collective belief or assurance.

Etymology and grammar: confiar derives from the Latin confidere, formed by con- (together) and fidere (to trust). The noun confi anza is related and denotes confidence or trust. Confiamos follows the regular endings of -ar verbs in the present tense, with the nosotros form used when the speaker includes themselves with others. The word is typically paired with prepositions such as en or a, for example, “confiamos en nuestras capacidades” or “confiamos en que irá bien.”

Usage: In sentences, confiamos expresses a stance of trust or reliance. Examples include stating belief in people, processes, or outcomes: “Confiamos en el equipo” (We trust the team) or “Confiamos en que las decisiones serán justas.” It can appear in both confident assertions and cautious statements depending on context and tone. The negative form is “no confiamos,” and the interrogative form is “¿confiamos…?”

Other notes: In some contexts, Confiamos may be used as a name or slogan for organizations, campaigns, or initiatives emphasizing trust or reliability. Such usage is context-dependent and not intrinsic to the verb’s standard meaning. Related terms include confianza, confiable, and confiar.
