listamos

Listamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb listar, meaning to list or to enumerate. It indicates that the subject performing the action is “we.” The related noun lista denotes a list or register, and the verb listar is formed from this noun with the standard -ar verb inflection.

As a regular -ar verb, listar follows the typical endings for its conjugation. In the present indicative, the forms are: yo listo, tú listas, él/ella/usted lista, nosotros/nosotras listamos, vosotros/vosotras listáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes listan. The form listamos also appears in the preterite (simple past) for nosotros, meaning “we listed.” Because regular -ar verbs share the same spelling for present and preterite nosotros forms, context usually clarifies the tense.

Usage and context: Listar is commonly used in everyday Spanish to describe the act of creating or presenting a list. It appears in both spoken and written language, including business, education, and computing contexts. In computing or data-management contexts, listar often means to generate or display a list of items, such as files, records, or options, typically conveyed through phrases like “vamos a listar los archivos” or “listamos los productos en la tabla.”

Examples: “Hoy listamos los gastos del mes.” (Today we list the month’s expenses.) “Listamos los artículos disponibles en una tabla.” (We list the available items in a table.)
