Cuantificamos

Cuantificamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb cuantificar, meaning to quantify. Cuantificar refers to determining, measuring, or expressing something in numerical terms, often by assigning a numerical value, unit, or scale. The term derives from the concept of quantity and the Latin root quant- meaning “how much.”

In usage, cuantificamos signals that the action of measuring or estimating quantities is being performed by the speakers or authors. It is common in scientific, statistical, and research writing, and typically appears with a direct object, as in cuantificamos las variables, cuantificamos el impacto, or cuantificamos las pérdidas. It can describe methodological steps in research where qualitative information is converted into numerical representations.

The noun form is cuantificación, and related terms include cuantificador (quantifier) and cuantificación de datos. In methodological contexts, cuantificación is often discussed alongside data collection, measurement validity, and statistical analysis, especially in mixed-methods research that integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Examples include: “Cuantificamos el incremento anual en un 12%.” or “En este estudio cuantificamos las actitudes mediante una escala de 1 a 5.” These statements reflect a shift from qualitative description to numerical measurement, a common practice to support comparison and statistical interpretation.

Cuantificar, and its forms like cuantificamos, are widely used across disciplines to express the process of turning observations into measurable data.
