Unificamos

Unificamos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb unificar. It denotes the action of bringing together separate elements to form a single unit, or agreeing on a common standard or approach. The meaning can be present or past depending on tense and context.

Etymology: Unificar is built from uni- meaning one and the suffix -ficar, from Latin facere “to make” (via the development of the -ificar suffix), giving “to make one” or “to unify.”

Grammar: As a regular -ar verb, unificamos occurs in the present tense as the first-person plural form: “we unify” or “we are unifying.” Other present forms include unifico, unificas, unifica, unificáis, unifican. In the preterite, the form for first-person plural is also unificamos, as in “we unified.” Context and adverbs usually clarify the tense.

Examples: Hoy unificamos criterios para el protocolo. Ayer unificamos las reglas de la competencia.

Contexts: It is used in political discourse, organizational settings, science, technology, education and sports to express the act of standardizing, consolidating, or reconciling different elements.
