aplazamos

Aplazamos is a conjugated form of the Spanish verb aplazar, meaning to postpone or delay a plan, event, or deadline. In everyday usage it expresses that a scheduled activity is being put off, either for a short time or to a later date. The form can function as present tense “we postpone” or, in some contexts, as the simple past “we postponed.”

As a regular -ar verb, aplazar follows standard conjugation patterns. Present indicative: yo aplazo, tú aplazas, él aplaza, nosotros aplazamos, vosotros aplazáis, ellos aplazan. Preterite forms include yo aplazé, tú aplazaste, él aplazó, nosotros aplazamos, vosotros aplazasteis, ellos aplazaron. The word “aplazamos” is therefore ambiguous between present and preterite first-person plural, with tense determined by context.

Usage: Aplazar is common in business, education, journalism, and daily speech, where postponement rather than cancellation is being communicated. Examples: “Aplazamos la reunión para la próxima semana.” “La apertura fue aplazada.” In writing, the term often implies a temporary delay rather than an outright termination of plans.

Etymology and related terms: the verb derives from “plazo,” meaning deadline or term, with the prefix “a-.” Related verbs include posponer, diferir, and retrasar. The noun “aplazamiento” denotes the act of postponing, and the adjective “aplazado” describes something that has been postponed.

Translations: in English, the equivalents are postpone or delay. In Spanish usage, “aplazamos” is a common form across informal and formal registers when discussing rescheduling.
