habitábamos

Habitábamos is a Spanish verb form. It is the first-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb habitar. The verb habitar means to inhabit, to dwell, or to live in a place. Therefore, habitábamos translates to "we inhabited," "we dwelt," or "we lived" in a specific location.

The imperfect indicative tense in Spanish is used to describe past actions that were ongoing, habitual, or set a scene. It conveys a sense of duration or repetition in the past, rather than a completed action. When someone says "habitábamos," they are referring to a past situation where a group of people (specifically, "we") were living or residing in a particular place for a period of time.

For example, a sentence like "Habitábamos en una pequeña casa cerca del río" would mean "We lived in a small house near the river." This suggests that living in that house was a continuous or repeated state in the past. The imperfect tense emphasizes the continuous nature of the dwelling rather than the act of moving in or out. It paints a picture of a past existence.
