Empapamos

Empapamos is a form of the Spanish verb empapar. It functions as a verb and is not a standalone noun. In standard usage, empapamos can be heard as either the present indicative first-person plural (we soak) or the preterite indicative first-person plural (we soaked), depending on the sentence context, since both tenses share the same form for this person and number.

The verb empapar means to wet through or saturate something, often thoroughly. It can describe literal soaking of materials such as fabrics, paper, clothing, or surfaces, as well as the complete saturation of a medium with liquid. Figuratively, empapar can be used to express the idea of filling something with information, emotion, or influence, for example saturating a reader with data or saturating a person with a mood or atmosphere.

Common usage includes literal statements like "Empapamos la tela con agua" (We soaked the cloth with water) and "Nos empapamos bajo la lluvia" (We got soaked in the rain). Figurative uses include sentences such as "El curso nos empapó de conocimientos" (The course drenched us with knowledge) or "El informe empapó al lector de datos" (The report flooded the reader with data). The form eschews gender or number beyond person and number, so context or accompanying pronouns clarify tense and subject.

As a regular -ar verb, empapar follows standard conjugation patterns: yo empapo, tú empapas, él empapa, nosotros empapamos, vosotros empapáis, ellos empapan. The specific tense for empapamos depends on time reference in the sentence. Empapamos is therefore a common, versatile form used in everyday Spanish to convey both physical soaking and figurative saturation.
