creamos

Creemos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb crear, meaning “we create” or “we are creating” depending on context. It denotes the act of bringing something into existence or producing something—such as a product, an idea, or a work—by a group that includes the speaker. The same spelling can also serve as the simple past tense (preterite) form for the same subject, with meaning determined by time reference in the sentence.

Etymology and morphology: Creer, creado? No—crear. The verb crear comes from Latin creare, meaning to produce or generate, and is related to forms in other Romance languages (for example, crear in Portuguese, French, and Italian). In Spanish, crear is a regular -ar verb. Present tense forms include yo creo, tú creas, él crea, nosotros creamos, vosotros creáis, ellos crean. The imperfect is creábamos, the preterite is creamos (ambiguous with the present form in isolation), and the future is crearemos.

Usage: Creemos is common across registers and contexts, from everyday speech to formal writing. It is used to express collective action or collaboration. Examples: “Nosotros creemos soluciones innovadoras” or “Ayer, creamos un prototipo.” The exact tense is typically inferred from temporal adverbs or the surrounding discourse.
