llevemos

Llevemos is a Spanish verb form derived from llevar. It is used in two main grammatical contexts: the present subjunctive of the first-person plural (nosotros) and the affirmative imperative for nosotros. It is not the indicative form for nosotros, which is llevamos.

In the present subjunctive, llevemos appears in clauses that express wishes, doubts, possibilities, or hypothetical actions. For example: Es posible que llevemos a cabo el plan. Here, the form signals uncertainty or non-real action and typically follows expressions that require the subjunctive, such as es posible que or ojalá que.

As the affirmative imperative for nosotros, llevemos is used to propose actions that involve the speaker and others acting together, akin to “let us.” Examples include: Llevemos estas cajas al coche. Llevemos a cabo el proyecto. When used with additional clitic pronouns, the spelling may change to preserve stress (for instance, Llevémonos la chaqueta), but the base form remains llevemos.

Meaning and uses extend from the core sense of llevar, “to carry” or “to take.” Beyond physical carrying, llevar can also mean to wear clothing, to transport something, to bear or endure, or to lead a situation, which are all compatible with its subjunctive or imperative uses in appropriate contexts.

Etymology traces llevar to Latin levāre or related Romance roots, with the evolution of the general sense “to carry” into Spanish. The form llevemos is standard across Spanish-speaking regions and appears in formal, instructional, and collaborative speech.
