caemos

Caemos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb caer, meaning "we fall" or "we are falling." It is used to describe a physical descent, such as slipping or dropping to the ground, and it can also be used metaphorically to express a decline or failure by a group.

Caer is an irregular verb, and caemos is part of its irregular present tense paradigm. The present indicative forms are: yo caigo, tú caes, él cae, nosotros caemos, vosotros caéis, ellos caen. The yo form is irregular (caigo), while the nosotros and vosotros forms follow the standard endings for -er verbs.

In usage, caemos appears in sentences like "Caemos al suelo cuando resbalamos" (We fall to the ground when we slip) and in figurative contexts such as "Si no tomamos medidas, caemos en la derrota" (If we do not take measures, we fall into defeat). It is common in everyday speech and can be found in literature, journalism, and conversation to convey collective action or experience.

Etymologically, caer derives from Latin cadere, a common source for the Spanish verb caer. The form caemos retains the same semantic core of descent or failure while aligning with the regular present-tense endings of the -er verb family in the nosotros form.
