Juzgamos

Juzgamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb juzgar, meaning “we judge” or “we are judging.” It is used when the speaker and others form an opinion, render a verdict, or assess someone or something in the present moment or as a general statement.

The verb juzgar comes from Latin iudicare, through Old Spanish, and shares its root with related terms such as juicio (judgment) and juez (judge). Its use spans moral, legal, and evaluative contexts, and it appears in both formal and everyday language.

In grammar, juzgamos typically takes a direct object representing the thing judged, often with the preposition a when judging a person: “juzgamos a las personas por su comportamiento.” It can also be used more abstractly: “juzgamos las decisiones,” or “juzgamos sin conocer toda la historia.” The term can carry a neutral sense of evaluation or a more critical, moralizing tone depending on context and emphasis.

Nuances: the phrase often reflects a stance about discernment or criticism, but it can also express reasoned assessment or mere opinion. Its connotation varies with tone, situation, and the presence of qualifiers such as “no” or adverbs that soften or intensify the judgment.
