dépensons

Dépensons is a French word that translates to "let's spend" in English. It is the first-person plural present subjunctive form of the verb dépenser, which means to spend. The subjunctive mood is used in French to express a wish, a desire, doubt, or a possibility. Therefore, "dépensons" conveys a sense of collective intention or suggestion to spend money.

This phrase might be used in various contexts. For example, in a conversation between friends planning a shopping trip, one might say, "Il fait beau, dépensons un peu!" which translates to "The weather is nice, let's spend a little!" It can also be used in discussions about budgeting or financial planning, though in such instances, the context would likely be more specific about what is being spent. The word itself is straightforward in its meaning, directly indicating an action of expenditure to be undertaken by the speaker and their group. Its usage is common in everyday French conversation when discussing plans involving the allocation of funds.
