inscribamos

Inscribamos is a conjugated form of the Spanish verb inscribir. It corresponds to the present subjunctive first-person plural (nosotros) and can function as an inclusive imperative meaning “let us enroll” or “let us register.” It is used in clauses that require the subjunctive mood, often after verbs or expressions that indicate necessity, doubt, desire, or possibility, and also in exhortations or proposals without a preceding conjunction.

Etymology and related forms: inscribir comes from the Latin inscribere, formed by in- “in” and scribere “to write.” The root is inscrib- with standard Spanish endings for -ir verbs in the present subjunctive. Related forms include inscribo (yo), inscribes (tú), inscribe (él/ella), inscribimos (nosotros), inscribís (vosotros), and inscriben (ellos).

Usage and nuance: Inscribamos appears in contexts such as “Es necesario que inscribamos a todos los participantes” or “Inscribamos a los estudiantes en el curso.” It can serve as a proposal or instruction that involves the group speaking: “Inscribamos a las personas interesadas.” The reflexive counterpart, inscribámonos, is used when the action se dirige a nosotros mismos: “Inscribámonos en el programa.”

Usage note: While both inscribamos and inscribamos reflexive are correct in appropriate contexts, their meanings differ: the non-reflexive form enacts the enrollment by a group, whereas the reflexive form emphasizes the enrollment of the speakers themselves.
