participamos

Participamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb participar, meaning to participate or to take part. It denotes current or habitual involvement in actions, events, or processes, and can be used in a wide range of contexts, from everyday activities to formal procedures. For example, “Hoy participamos en la sesión” or “Nosotros participamos activamente en el proyecto comunitario.”

Grammatical notes: Participar is a regular -ar verb. In the present tense its full forms are participo, participas, participa, participamos, participan. The verb is commonly followed by en to indicate involvement in an activity (participar en un programa, participar en una reunión) or de to express sharing or benefiting in some contexts (participar de los beneficios). The phrase puede also appear with other prepositions or field-specific constructions depending on regional usage.

Etymology and related terms: Participar comes from Latin participare, related to pars/partis meaning part. Related words include participación (participation), participante (participant), and participativo/participativa (participatory). These forms expand the family of terms used to discuss involvement, contribution, and shared activity in Spanish.

Usage notes: Participamos emphasizes collective action or shared involvement by the subject group (we). It is distinct from phrases like “tomamos parte” and is commonly used in academic, civic, sports, and organizational discourse to indicate active engagement.
