proseguimos

Proseguimos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb proseguir, meaning "we proceed" or "we continue." It is used to signal the continuation of an action, narrative, or discussion and is common in formal writing and in spoken narratives when the speaker includes themselves as part of the group.

Etymology: The verb proseguir derives from Latin prosequi "to accompany, to follow" and entered Spanish via the Romance languages. The form proseguimos preserves the core sense of continuing forward.

Usage: Proseguimos conveys deliberate forward movement and is often found in technical, journalistic, academic, or literary contexts. It coexists with more everyday synonyms such as seguimos and continuamos, though proseguimos can carry a slightly more formal or literary tone. It is used with constructions like proseguimos con..., proseguimos la investigación, or proseguimos el viaje.

Examples:

- Proseguimos con el informe tras la pausa.

- Después del descanso, proseguimos la lectura del capítulo.

- En la ruta hacia la meta, proseguimos sin cesar.

Notes: While widely understood, proseguimos may sound formal or literary in everyday speech, where seguir or continuar are typically preferred.
