Facilitamos

Facilitamos is a conjugated form of the verb facilitar in Romance languages such as Portuguese and Spanish. It functions as the first-person plural present indicative, meaning that the subject, “we,” performs the action of making something easier or enabling a process. In everyday use, it can describe actions by people, organizations, or services that help others access or complete something.

Etymology and cognates help frame its meaning. The term derives from Latin facilis, meaning easy, and the verb facilitat- from facilitas, together with the suffix -ar in the Romance languages. Related words in other languages include English facilitate, French faciliter, and Italian facilitare, all sharing the core idea of making tasks easier or more accessible.

Usage and nuance. In both Portuguese and Spanish, facilitamos is employed to express that a group or entity is enabling or providing assistance, such as facilitating access, procedures, or communication. It appears in formal and informal contexts, from organizational announcements to service descriptions. Examples in generic form include “facilitamos o acesso aos serviços” (we facilitate access to the services) or “facilitamos la gestión de trámites” (we facilitate the processing of procedures).

Grammatical notes. In addition to the present tense, similar verbs have related forms that indicate past actions, such as facilitámos in European Portuguese or facilitamos in other tenses in both languages. Although spelled the same in Spanish and Portuguese, pronunciation and regional usage may vary. The word is not typically used as a noun and mainly appears as a verb form within sentences.
