correspondemos

Correspondemos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb corregresponder? No, corrigendum; the correct verb is corresponder. It means “we correspond” in the sense of communicating with others, or more broadly “we match” or “we are due/appropriate” depending on context. As a stem-changing, regular -er verb, its present form follows the standard nosotros ending -emos.

Etymology and meanings: Corresponder comes from Latin correspondere, meaning to respond, to agree, or to be in harmony with. In Spanish, the verb covers several related senses: to respond or reply in correspondence, to correspond or match with something, and to be due or appropriate for someone or something (as in “lo que nos corresponde” – what we are due to do or what falls to us).

Usage and notes: The form correspondemos is used when the subject is “nosotros.” The most common sense in everyday speech is “we correspond with” (Nosotros correspondemos con los clientes por correo electrónico). In expressions of obligation or propriety, speakers more often use lo que nos corresponde or corresponde to alguien, where the verb appears in the third-person singular (corresponde) rather than in the first-person plural.

Related terms and forms include correspondencia (correspondence), correspondiente (corresponding, appropriate), and the verb responder (to respond), which is distinct but related in meaning.

In summary, correspondemos is a specific verb form indicating that a group performs the action of corresponding, while the broader verb family around corresponder covers matching, being due, and being appropriate.
