Puntuamos

Puntuamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb puntuar. It means to assign points or to rate something on a scale, and it is used in contexts such as scoring in competitions, evaluating work, or rating products and performances. The exact sense depends on context, ranging from awarding points in a game to giving a numerical or qualitative score in assessments.

In practice, puntuamos appears in sentences like “Puntuamos el examen con un 8 de 10” (we grade the exam as 8 out of 10) or “Puntuamos cada artículo en una escala de 1 a 5” (we rate each item on a 1 to 5 scale). The verb is common in educational settings, review processes, and scored evaluations. In sports, although verbs like anotar or conseguir puntos are frequent, puntuar or puntuamos can still be used to describe the act of assigning points within an official scoring system or judges’ rubric.

Etymologically, puntuar derives from punto (point) and the suffix -uar, forming a verb that denotes the act of giving points or scoring. Related terms include puntuación (the score or the act of scoring) and puntuable (worthy of scoring). Puntuamos is part of a family of verbs used for evaluation, assessment, and rating across Spanish-speaking regions.
