esclarezcamos

Esclarezcamos is a Spanish verb form used to express a suggestion or exhortation to clarify something. It is the first-person plural present subjunctive form of the verb esclarecer (to clarify, to elucidate). In English, it translates roughly as “Let us clarify.” It is common in formal, political, journalistic, and academic discourse.

Usage wise, esclarecer is used to invite a group to make something clear, to resolve ambiguity, or to present information more precisely. Examples: “Esclarezcamos los hechos antes de emitir un juicio” and “Esclarezcamos qué se sabe hasta ahora.” The form emphasizes collective action and is often found in speeches, editorials, and official communications.

Grammatical notes, this form belongs to the subjunctive mood and is used for wishes, proposals, or exhortations that involve a group. Other related forms include “esclarezca” (usted/él), “esclarezcan” (ustedes). The negative counterpart is “no esclarezcamos.” As an independent exhortation, it can appear without additional introducers, especially in formal writing.

Origin and related terms: esclarecer derives from the idea of making something clear, with the related noun “esclarecimiento” referring to the act or process of clarifying. Synonyms in Spanish include aclarar and explicar, though each carries slightly different nuances in formality and emphasis.
