pagássemos

Pagássemos is a word from the Portuguese language. It is the first-person plural imperfect subjunctive form of the verb "pagar," which means "to pay." The imperfect subjunctive tense in Portuguese is used to express a hypothetical, uncertain, or past condition or action. Therefore, "pagássemos" translates to "we would pay" or "we paid" in a conditional or subordinate clause.

This verb form typically appears in sentences that describe situations that did not happen, or actions that were dependent on a certain condition. For example, in the sentence "Se pagássemos mais, eles ficariam felizes" (If we paid more, they would be happy), "pagássemos" is used to express a hypothetical condition. Similarly, in a sentence like "Espero que pagássemos a dívida logo" (I hope we paid the debt soon), it conveys a desire for a past action that may or may not have occurred. The conjugation of verbs in the imperfect subjunctive, including "pagássemos," follows specific grammatical rules in Portuguese.
