Fingamos

Fingamos is a Spanish word that translates to "let's pretend" or "let's feign" in English. It is the first-person plural present subjunctive form of the verb "fingir," which means to pretend, feign, or simulate.

The subjunctive mood is used in Spanish to express a range of nuances, including doubt, desire, emotion, and hypothetical situations. In the case of "fingamos," it indicates a suggestion or an invitation for a group to engage in an act of pretense. For example, one might say "Fingamos que somos exploradores" which means "Let's pretend we are explorers."

This phrase is commonly used in informal settings, particularly among children playing games or adults engaging in imaginative scenarios. It can also be employed in more abstract contexts, such as when discussing hypothetical situations or exploring possibilities. The use of "fingamos" signals a shared understanding that the reality being presented is not factual but rather a construct for a specific purpose. It implies a temporary suspension of disbelief for the sake of enjoyment, learning, or exploration.
