disculpémonos

Disculpémonos is the first-person plural imperative form of the pronominal verb disculparse in Spanish. It expresses a collective call to apologize or to take responsibility for a fault or inconvenience. The form combines the verb with the reflexive pronoun nos, yielding let us apologize.

Usage of disculpémonos is most common in formal or public communications, such as organizational statements, official notices, or editorial notes. It signals collective accountability rather than an individual action and is often employed to acknowledge errors, delays, or omissions while addressing a group of recipients.

Grammar and style notes: disculpémonos is the affirmative imperative for nosotros; the negative form is no nos disculpemos. The construction is gender-neutral and inclusive, suitable for groups including the speaker. It is usually perceived as formal, ceremonial, or solemn, and may sound stylistically elevated in everyday conversation.

Examples include: Disculpémonos por las molestias causadas por la reforma; Disculpémonos por la demora en la entrega. In casual speech, speakers may prefer nos disculpamos or pido disculpas, which are more direct and less formal. The expression helps frame apologies as a shared responsibility rather than a single act.
