nombremos

Nombremos is the present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb nombrar for the nosotros (first person plural) subject. It can function as the affirmative nosotros imperative, used to express a proposal or exhortation in a collective decision, such as in meetings or committees. In everyday use, nombremos conveys “let us name” or “let us appoint,” rather than making a simple factual statement.

Etymology and form: Nombrar comes from Latin nominare, related to nomen meaning name. The form nombremos belongs to the subjunctive present in the nosotros group, and it is commonly employed to propose an action to be decided by a group. Other related forms include nombren (subjunctive for ustedes), nombre (subjunctive for él/ella/usted), and nombramos (present indicative for nosotros).

Usage and examples: Nombremos a la persona más adecuada para el cargo. Nombremos un comité de evaluación para la propuesta. These constructions illustrate how the word is used to initiate collective decisions or designate someone for a role. In formal or procedural contexts, nombremos appears in deliberations, juntas, asambleas, o actas donde se discuten nombramientos.

Related terms: Nombrar (to name, designate, appoint), nominación (nomination), nombramiento (appointment). Nombremos is distinct from simple declarative statements about naming; it signals a collaborative action to be considered by a group.
