Dizíamos

Dizíamos is a Spanish verb form. It is the first-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb "decir," which means "to say" or "to tell." The imperfect tense in Spanish is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or states of being in the past. Therefore, "dizíamos" translates to "we were saying," "we used to say," or "we said" (in the sense of narrating an ongoing past action).

This verb form would be used in sentences describing past events or situations where a group of people (including the speaker) were engaged in the act of speaking or stating something. For example, "Dizíamos que íbamos a ir al parque" translates to "We were saying that we were going to go to the park." Another example is "Cuando éramos niños, dizíamos que queríamos ser astronautas," meaning "When we were children, we used to say that we wanted to be astronauts." The context of the sentence would determine the precise nuance of the translation. It is important to distinguish the imperfect "dizíamos" from the preterite "dijimos," which refers to a completed action in the past, meaning "we said" or "we told."
