impulsemos

Impulsemos is a Portuguese verb form used to express a collective appeal or suggestion to take action, roughly translating to “let us push forward” or “let us boost.” It is typically associated with an inclusive mood involving the speaker and the audience (nós).

The form comes from the verbs impulsionar or impulsionar, meaning to propel, boost, or stimulate. In standard usage, impulsionar/ impulsionar convey driving forward efforts, initiatives, or projects. Impulsemos functions as the hortatory or present-subjunctive-like form that invites a group to act together, and it is common in formal writing, speeches, marketing language, and motivational contexts where a shared commitment is desired.

Usage notes and examples:

- Impulsemos este projeto com mais recursos. (Let us push this project forward with more resources.)

- Impulsemos a inovação na empresa para melhorar a competitividade. (Let us boost innovation in the company to improve competitiveness.)

While impulsionarmos or impulsionemos may be seen in different regional varieties or registers, impulssemos is generally understood as a polite, emphatic invitation to collective action rather than a simple command.

Etymology and related forms:

Impulsemos derives from impulsionar or, less commonly, impulsionar, both rooted in the idea of impulse or impetus. Related forms include impulso (noun: impulse), impulsionando (present participle), and impulsionamento (process of boosting).
