nombro

Nombro is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb nombrar, meaning to name, designate, or nominate. As a finite verb, it expresses that the speaker is performing the action of naming or appointing in the present.

Nombrar is a regular -ar verb. Its present tense forms are: yo nombro, tú nombras, él nombra, nosotros nombramos, vosotros nombráis, ellos nombran. The form nombro appears in sentences such as “Yo nombro a Juan para el cargo.” The verb’s stem comes from the Latin nom- from nomen, meaning name, and the orthography retains the b from the root.

Usage and nuances: Nombrar can refer to naming something by its designation (giving it a name) or to appointing someone to a position or office (nomination). It can also mean to mention or list something in speech or writing, depending on context. In everyday language, “nombro” is contrasted with “llamar,” which centers more on calling someone by a name or nickname rather than on formal designation or appointment.
