disponemos

Disponer is a Spanish verb with several related meanings, including to arrange, to provide, and to have at one’s disposal. The word disponemos is the first-person plural present indicative form: nosotros disponemos. In this form, the verb generally means “we have at our disposal” or “we arrange/prepare,” depending on the context.

A common use of disponer is to indicate availability, typically with the preposition de. For example, “Dispusimos de un coche para el viaje” or more commonly “Dispositamos de un coche” (we have a car available). More natural in everyday language is “Disponer de,” as in “Dispondemos de recursos suficientes” (We have sufficient resources) or “No disponemos de suficiente tiempo” (We do not have enough time).

Beyond availability, disponer also carries meanings related to planning or organizing something, such as to arrange events, to set up equipment, or to decide on a course of action. The related verb “disponerse” means to prepare oneself or to be inclined to do something, and “disponer de” can be followed by nouns to indicate possession or access.

Etymologically, disponer comes from Latin disponere, formed by dis- (apart, apart from) and ponere (to place). Its sense has expanded from the idea of placing things in order to having them at one’s disposal or being able to use them.

Notes: Disponer and its forms are regular for most tenses, with characteristic stem changes seen in related forms (for example, yo dispongo, tú dispones, él dispone, nosotros disponemos, vosotros disponéis, ellos disponen). The phrase disponemos is widely used in formal and informal contexts to express available resources, facilities, or arrangements.
