incorporando

incorporando is the gerund form of the Spanish verb incorporar, meaning “incorporating” or “including.” It describes the action of adding elements, merging parts, or bringing something into a larger whole, and is used to express ongoing or concurrent activity, especially with the auxiliary estar (for example, la empresa está incorporando nuevos empleados). The word derives from Latin incorporar e from in- “into” plus corpus “body.”

In grammar, the gerund is used with estar to indicate a progressive aspect, i.e., an action in progress, as in “está incorporando la harina.” It can also appear in descriptive or instructional contexts, such as “incorporando poco a poco” in recipes or procedures, to denote the manner in which elements are being added or blended.

In business and legal contexts, incorporar refers to forming a corporation or adding entities to a company. In this sense, “incorporando” may describe the process of bringing a new partner, asset, or division into an existing organization, or the ongoing steps in achieving legal incorporation. The noun form is incorporación, or more generally, the act of incorporation.

Other common uses occur in cooking, science, and data management, where the term signifies gradually integrating ingredients, substances, or data into a mixture or dataset. Examples include culinary instructions that direct gradual incorporation of dry ingredients, or technical texts describing how new data are incorporated into an analysis.

Notes: in formal writing, it is often preferable to use the infinitive or passive forms (por ejemplo, “incorporar” or “se incorpora”) or phrases such as “al incorporar” rather than overusing the gerund. Related terms include incorporación and incorporar.
