negamos

Negamos is a verb form used in both Spanish and Portuguese. It represents the first-person plural present indicative of the verb negar, which means to deny, refuse, or repudiate. As such, negamos translates to "we deny" or "we refuse" in English.

In Spanish, negar is conjugated as niego, niegas, niega, negamos, negáis, niegan. The form negamos is commonly used without an explicit subject pronoun, since the verb ending already signals the "we" subject. It appears in formal and informal contexts alike, especially in statements denying accusations, claims, or obligations. Examples: "Negamos las acusaciones." "Negamos rotundamente cualquier implicación."

In Portuguese, negar follows the typical -ar verb conjugation pattern. Negamos is also the first-person plural present indicative, used similarly to Spanish to deny or reject statements. Portuguese often uses the subject pronoun nós, but negamos can stand alone as a complete predicate. Examples: "Negamos qualquer envolvimento." "Nós negamos veementemente as alegações." The form negamos is encountered in press releases, legal or political statements, and everyday discourse.

Etymology traces negamos to the Latin negare, meaning to deny or refuse, formed from the neg- root with a typical Romance-language verb suffix. Related forms include negar (infinitive), negación/negação (denial), and denied/negares in various tenses.
