indiquemos

Indiquemos is a verb form in Spanish, specifically the first-person plural present subjunctive of the verb indicar, meaning to indicate or to point out. This form is used in contexts that require subjunctive mood, often to express proposals, doubt, desire, or uncertainty, especially in collective or formal language.

In practical use, indicamos as a group action or suggestion: for example, indiquemos el camino correcto, which translates as "let us indicate the correct way" or "let us point out the correct path." It also appears in sentences that frame a recommendation or plan for a group, such as es necesario que indiquemos nuestras prioridades (it is necessary that we indicate our priorities). Because it is the nosotros form of the present subjunctive, it frequently occurs after expressions of will, necessity, or emotion in subordinate clauses, or in hortatory constructions that invite group decision.

Grammatical notes: indicAR verbs form their present subjunctive with indica- and a -emos ending in the nosotros position, producing indiquemos. The form shares the same orthography as other first-person plural subjunctive forms in Spanish, and there is no accent mark. It is distinct from the indicative form indiquamos, which states a simple declarative action in the present tense: we indicate.

Context and scope: indíquemos is common in formal or collaborative settings, such as meeting minutes, policy drafting, project planning, or any discourse that involves proposing a course of action to a group. It should be distinguished from the affirmative imperative for tú or usted and from other moods that express certainty rather than proposal.
