comemos

Comemos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb comer, meaning “we eat.” It is used to state that the speaker and others eat, either habitually or in a given instance. For example: “Comemos a las ocho” (We eat at eight) or “Hoy comemos en casa” (Today we eat at home). As a regular -er verb, comer follows a standard present tense paradigm: yo como, tú comes, él/ella/usted come, nosotros comemos, vosotros coméis, ellos/ellas/ustedes comen. In Spain the vosotros form is common (“coméis”); in most of Latin America, the corresponding form is “ustedes comen.”

The form comemos also appears in compound tenses with haber (hemos comido), and in the subjunctive, imperative, and other moods derived from the same stem. Etymology: comer derives from Latin and entered Spanish with regular -er verb conjugation patterns established in Old Spanish.

Notes: While “comemos” literally means “we eat,” it can be used to indicate eating as a general activity among a group, not necessarily an action precisely at the moment of speaking. For ongoing actions, Spanish typically uses the present progressive “estamos comiendo.”
