Miremos

Miremos is a Spanish verb form derived from mirar. It has two grammatical functions: it is the first-person plural present subjunctive of mirar, and it is the affirmative imperative (nosotros form) of mirar. In both cases the written form is miremos, but the contexts distinguish mood and use.

In the present subjunctive, miremos appears in dependent clauses after expressions of necessity, doubt, possibility, or desire, for example: Es importante que miremos los datos con atención. It can also occur in more formal or cautious constructions to express a hypothetical or non-confirmed action involving “we.” The pronunciation is the same as the imperative form.

As the affirmative imperative for nosotros, miremos is used to propose a joint action, similar to the English “let’s look.” Examples include: Miremos el informe juntos antes de decidir. The negative imperative is no miremos, as in No miremos solo una parte del problema. The imperfect or other tenses use different forms; for indication or narration the present indicative miramos is used to mean “we look,” which is a separate form and mood.

Etymology traces miremos to the verb mirar, which comes from Latin mīrāre (to look at). The form is typical of Spanish verb conjugation for -ar verbs in the nosotros person, reflecting both the present subjunctive and the affirmative imperative. In contemporary usage, miremos remains common in formal, persuasive, or literary contexts, though speakers often opt for periphrastic alternatives such as vamos a mirar in everyday speech.
