apreciamos

Apreciamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb apreciar. The verb has several core senses: to value or esteem someone or something; to recognize merit or quality; to perceive or notice details through the senses; and, in some contexts, to understand or grasp a concept. In everyday use, apreciar often conveys a positive assessment or gratitude, as in “Apreciamos su apoyo” (We appreciate your support) or “Apreciamos la belleza de esta obra” (We value/adore the beauty of this work).

Conjugation and usage notes: The present tense forms are yo aprecio, tú aprecias, él/ella/Ud. aprecia, nosotros apreciamos, vosotros apreciáis, ellos/ellas/Uds. aprecian. The form apreciamos is the standard way to say “we appreciate” or “we value.” Apreciar is transitive and typically takes a direct object: apreciar a alguien (to value someone) or apreciar algo (to appreciate something). In addition to valuation, it can mean to perceive or understand, as in appreciating a detail or a concept.

Etymology and related terms: The verb apreciar derives from Romance language roots related to value and price, with further influence from French apprécier.
