Dormiebamus

Dormiebamus is a Latin word found in classical literature. It is the first-person plural imperfect active indicative form of the verb dormire, which means "to sleep." Therefore, "dormiebamus" translates to "we were sleeping" or "we used to sleep." This verb form indicates a past, ongoing, or habitual action. Its usage in texts often serves to describe a state of slumber or a period of rest that occurred in the past. For example, a sentence might read "Cum ad urbem pervenisset, dormiebamus" which means "When he arrived at the city, we were sleeping." The imperfect tense emphasizes the duration or repetition of the action rather than a single, completed event.
