favorecíamos

favorecíamos is the first-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb favorecer. The verb favorecer derives from the Latin word favor, meaning "liking" or "goodwill." In its basic sense, favorecer means to favor, to show partiality towards, or to support someone or something.

When used in the first-person plural imperfect indicative, "favorecíamos" describes an ongoing or habitual action of favoring or supporting in the past. For example, "Nosotros favorecíamos a ese equipo en todos los partidos" translates to "We used to favor that team in all the games" or "We were favoring that team in all the games." This tense suggests that the action was not a single event but a continuous or repeated behavior.

The verb can also imply offering advantages, benefits, or assistance. Thus, "favorecíamos a los estudiantes con becas adicionales" would mean "We were providing students with additional scholarships" or "We used to grant students additional scholarships." The context in which "favorecíamos" is used will determine the precise nuance of its meaning, whether it's about preference, support, or the provision of benefits.
