planteemos

Planteemos is the present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb plantear for the nosotros (we) subject. It is used to propose, raise, or set forth topics for discussion by a group, often as an exhortation or invitation to consider a course of action. In this hortative use, the form functions as a collective suggestion: for example, “Planteemos este tema en la próxima reunión” (Let us raise this topic at the next meeting).

Grammatical notes: Planteemos belongs to the subjunctive mood and expresses wishes, possibilities, or recommended actions proposed by the speaker for the group. It is commonly found in formal or persuasive contexts, such as committees, planning documents, or collaborative writing, where a speaker invites others to consider a proposal.

Related forms and terms: The infinitive is plantear, meaning to propose or to pose. Related nouns include planteamiento (the act of presenting or outlining a plan or issue) and planteo (a proposal or plan, in some contexts). The reflexive verb plantearse means to consider or to face a matter oneself, as in “plantearse un problema.”

Usage notes: Planteemos appears most often in written or formal speech, but it also occurs in organized discussions or group decision-making contexts where inclusive, collective action is being proposed. Its meaning is broad, covering the act of presenting ideas, problems, or solutions for communal consideration.
