agradecíamos

Agradecíamos is the first-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb agradecer, meaning to thank or to be grateful. As a past tense form, it expresses a habitual or ongoing act or state of gratitude, rather than a single completed event.

Grammatical notes: Agradecer is an -er verb; the imperfect indicative for nosotros/as ends in -íamos, yielding agradecíamos. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable. This form is commonly used in narrative or descriptive past contexts to show repeated gratitude or a continuing sentiment.

Usage: It appears in writing and speech when recounting past experiences in which gratitude was expressed over time, or when a past habit of thanking is described. It can contrast with more punctual past tenses that might indicate a single act of thanking.

Examples: Durante la reunión, agradecíamos todo el apoyo recibido. En la infancia, agradecíamos a nuestros maestros por su paciencia.

Related forms: Agradecer has other conjugations across tenses. Present tense forms include agradezco, agradeces, agradece, agradecemos, agradecéis, agradecen; imperfect forms include agradecía, agradecías, agradecía, agradecíamos, agradecíais, agradecían. The term is typically used as part of the imperfect paradigm to convey past gratitude rather than as a standalone lexical entry.
