dormimos

Dormimos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb dormir, meaning "to sleep." It is used to state that we sleep or to describe a habitual action in the present. The present tense forms of dormir include: yo duermo, tú duermes, él/ella/usted duerme, nosotros dormimos, vosotros dormís, ellos/ellas/ustedes duermen. The corresponding past tense for this subject is durmimos, with a different vowel in the root.

Etymologically, dormir derives from Latin dormire. The verb has cognates in other Romance languages, such as Portuguese dormir and Italian dormire, reflecting a common Latin origin. The spelling and pronunciation conventions in Spanish align with typical patterns for -ir verbs with irregular stem changes in some tenses, while the present tense maintains regular endings for -ir verbs apart from the root vowel.

Usage notes indicate that dormimos appears frequently in everyday speech when referring to the speaker and others sleeping. Examples: "Dormimos ocho horas cada noche" (We sleep eight hours each night). "Ayer dormimos temprano" (Yesterday we slept early). In a progressive construction, one would say "estamos durmiendo" rather than using dormimos.

Related forms include the other present-tense conjugations of dormir (duermo, duermes, duerme, dormimos, dormís, duermen) and the related verb dormir itself as the lexical head. Understanding dormimos helps with broader comprehension of Spanish verb conjugation and the expression of sleep-related actions in the present.
