impidimos

Impidimos is not a standard Spanish word. In ordinary use it is generally considered a misspelling or typographical error of impedimos, the first-person plural present indicative form of impedir, meaning “we hinder” or “we prevent.”

In correct spelling, the verb impedir comes from Latin impedire and in the present indicative forms as impedimos for the nosotros form. The standard conjugation is: yo impido, tú impides, él impide, nosotros impedimos, vosotros impedís, ellos impiden. The form impidimos does not appear in standard conjugation and would be treated as a mistake in most contexts.

Common errors and sources of confusion include confusion with the stem of other verbs such as pedir, where the forms include pid- (pido, pides, pide, pedimos, pedís, piden). Learners may substitute pid- for imped- or misread the root, resulting in impidimos. In formal writing and most dictionaries, impedimos is cited as the correct form, while impidimos is flagged as an error.

Usage notes: If encountered in text, impidimos is typically corrected to impedimos. It is occasionally encountered as a deliberate stylistic choice in fictional contexts, branding, or typographical variants, but this is not standard Spanish. When communicating “we hinder” or “we prevent,” use impedimos.
