motivamos

Motivamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb motivar, meaning “we motivate” or “we encourage.” It is used to describe the act of providing motivation or incentives to others, or in reflexive constructions to express mutual motivation, as in “Nos motivamos para alcanzar nuestras metas.”

Etymology and meaning: Motivar comes from Latin motivare, based on motus or mov- “movement” and “to move.” The overarching sense in Spanish is to prompt action, arouse interest, or stimulate effort, often with a view to achieving a goal.

Grammatical use: Motivamos functions as a regular -ar verb in the present tense. It takes a direct object to indicate who is being motivated (e.g., motivamos a los estudiantes), and can be paired with an infinitive or clause to express the outcome (e.g., motivamos a participar, motivamos para lograr metas). The sentence form can also appear in broader contexts such as organizational or motivational discourse.

Context and usage: The term appears across fields like education, business, sports, and marketing, where motivation strategies are described or discussed. It is commonly used in phrases that emphasize encouragement, engagement, and goal-oriented behavior.

Branding and naming: Capitalized as Motivamos, the term may be used as a proper noun for organizations, campaigns, programs, or media projects. Such uses are context-specific and not tied to a single, universal entity.
