Somos

Somos is a term used in Spanish and Portuguese that translates to "we are." It functions as the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb ser in both languages and is widely used to express identity, belonging, or collective action. In everyday speech, phrases such as "Somos hermanos" (We are siblings) or "Somos diferentes, pero unidos" illustrate its ordinary, inclusive usage. The word derives from the Latin sumus, the first-person plural of esse, and is cognate with similar forms in related Romance languages.

As a proper noun, Somos appears as a name for organizations, initiatives, media outlets, and cultural projects within Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities. The term's inclusive connotation makes it popular for groups that emphasize unity, solidarity, or communal goals. Because it is a common verb form rather than a specific noun, entities named Somos tend to be diverse in purpose and geography, from charitable organizations to creative collectives.

In branding and media, Somos is often used to convey togetherness and social connection. It can appear as a title for films, radio programs, magazines, or campaigns that aim to highlight collective identity or social issues. The use of Somos reflects broader linguistic patterns in which common verbs serve as memorable, action-oriented identifiers.
