estanquemos

Estanquemos is the nosotros form of the present subjunctive of the Spanish verb estancar, which means to block, dam up, or impede. As a grammatical form, estanquemos is used in subordinate clauses after verbs that express desire, necessity, doubt, or exhortation, and in constructions that express a wish or purpose with expressions like ojala or que.

Because it is a verb form rather than a standalone lexical item, estanquemos is primarily relevant in discussions of Spanish conjugation and grammar. In ordinary speech, speakers may instead use alternative constructions such as the present subjunctive in other forms or use periphrastic expressions to convey the same idea.

Examples:

Es imprescindible que estanquemos la salida para evitar filtraciones.

Ojalá estanquemos el paso del río antes de la crecida.

Notes:

Estanquemos does not function as an independent noun or common lexical entry; its appearance is tied to a specific grammatical context. It appears mainly in formal writing, grammatical explanations, or language-learning materials that illustrate the subjunctive mood in the nosotros form. Related terms include estancar, the verb itself, and broader references to the Spanish present subjunctive and jussive use.
