llovemos

Llovemos is the present indicative first-person plural form of the Spanish verb llover, which means “to rain.” In contemporary Spanish, llover is used almost exclusively as an impersonal weather verb in the third person singular, with phrases like llueve or está lloviendo to describe rain. The form llovemos, meaning literally “we rain,” is therefore unusual for describing weather and is not standard usage in everyday speech.

Because llover is treated as impersonal, the natural way to talk about rain does not involve a reflexive or agentive subject. The existence of a nosotros form like llovemos is largely confined to rare, nonstandard, or highly literary contexts. In practice, you will encounter llovemos mainly as a curiosity in discussions of Spanish verb forms, or in poetry and experimental writing where rain is personified or reframed.

Etymology and classification: Llover derives from a verb historically rooted in the same family as the Latin verb pluvēre, meaning to rain. In modern Spanish, llover is categorized as an impersonal verb with most charts focusing on the third-person singular forms used for weather. Other person forms (such as llovemos) are explained as theoretically possible forms but are not common or normative for weather statements.

In usage guidance, llovemos is generally considered nonstandard for describing rain. For clear, correct meteorological expression, prefer llueve, está lloviendo, o llovía, depending on tense and aspect.
