Reconstruimos

Reconstruimos is the form of the Spanish verb reconstruir that agrees with the subject nosotros. In the present indicative it means “we rebuild” or “we are rebuilding.” It is also the first-person plural form in the simple past (pretérito perfecto simple), meaning “we rebuilt” in contexts that express completed action. The same spelling can indicate different tenses depending on context.

Etymology and classification: The word is built from the prefix re- (again, back) attached to construir (to build). Construir itself comes from Latin and shares a common development with other -uir verbs in Spanish. As a result, reconstruir behaves like those verbs in several conjugations, including the use of occasional y-forms in some tenses and persons.

Conjugation notes: In the present tense, the forms are: yo reconstruyo, tú reconstruyes, él/ella reconstruye, nosotros reconstruimos, vosotros reconstruís, ellos reconstruyen. In the preterite (past) tense, the forms are: yo reconstruí, tú reconstruiste, él reconstruyó, nosotros reconstruimos, vosotros reconstruisteis, ellos reconstruyeron. The past participle is reconstruido. The verb belongs to the family of -uir verbs that insert a y in certain forms (reconstruyó, reconstruyeron) in the past tense.

Usage: Reconstruimos is commonly used to describe the act of rebuilding physical structures after damage, as well as metaphorical rebuilding of systems, memories, or institutions. It is a versatile verb in discussions of architecture, disaster recovery, urban planning, and social renewal, reflecting collective action by a group including the speaker. As a form, it does not constitute a standalone noun or title unless used as such in a name or slogan.
