otorguemos

Otorguemos is a verb form of the Spanish verb otorgar. It corresponds to the present subjunctive form for the nosotros (we) subject, and it can also function as the affirmative imperative in the same person in formal or rhetorical contexts. In standard grammar, otorguemos appears as the present subjunctive: que nosotros otorguemos.

Grammatical notes: The form is created from the present subjunctive stem otorgu- plus the endings -emos. It is distinct from the indicative nosotros form otorgamos and from other moods or tenses. The imperfect and future subjunctive forms differ (for example, otorgáramos or otorgásemos for the imperfect, otorgáremos or otorgásemos in some dialects).

Usage: Otorguemos is used to express proposed actions, wishes, or obligations in a collective, inclusive tone. It frequently appears in formal, legal, administrative, or ceremonial language, especially in constructions that urge or authorize action by a group. It can introduce a clause after verbs or expressions that require the subjunctive, or be employed as an exhortative imperative in written exhortations.

Examples:

- Otorguemos un certificado a los voluntarios. (Let us grant a certificate to the volunteers.)

- Es necesario que otorguemos la licencia antes de la fecha límite. (It is necessary that we grant the license before the deadline.)

- Otorguemos a cada participante un reconocimiento. (Let us grant each participant a recognition.)

Related forms include otorgar (the infinitive), otorgue (present subjunctive for other subjects), and otorgamos (present indicative for nosotros). Otorguemos shares semantic space with synonyms like conceder or distribuir, depending on the context.
