Contengamos

Contengamos is a Spanish word that translates to "let's contain," "let's hold back," or "let's restrain" in English. It is the first-person plural subjunctive form of the verb "contener," which means to contain, hold, restrain, or comprise. The subjunctive mood is used to express a wish, doubt, emotion, or something that is not a factual statement. Therefore, "contengamos" often appears in contexts where a speaker or writer is expressing a desire or suggestion for a group to hold something back, limit something, or keep something within certain bounds.

This phrase can be used in various situations. For instance, in a discussion about a growing problem, someone might say "Contengamos la propagación del virus" which means "Let's contain the spread of the virus." In a more personal context, it could be used to suggest controlling one's emotions, such as "Contengamos nuestra ira" translating to "Let's restrain our anger." It can also refer to managing resources or impulses. The specific meaning of "contengamos" is highly dependent on the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence or conversation in which it is used.
