provoquemos

Provoquemos is a form of the Spanish verb provocar. It is the first-person plural present subjunctive form (nosotros) and is commonly used as an exhortation meaning “let us provoke” or, more loosely, “let’s provoke.” In ordinary sentences it can express a wish or invitation to act collectively, often in contexts that seek to incite discussion, change, or a response rather than to describe a specific, completed action.

Grammatically, provoquemos is the present-subjunctive form used for proposals or suggestions addressed to a group. It can appear within a clause after que, such as in "Espero que provoquemos un cambio," or as a stand-alone slogan or imperative-like call, especially in political, social, or artistic communication. The construction derives from the verb provocar, which comes from Latin provocare.

Etymology and usage notes: provoquer stems from Latin provocare, meaning to provoke, challenge, or induce. In Spanish, provoquemos functions as a flexible exhortation in civic discourse, advertising, or media, and as a title or header in essays or campaigns intended to stimulate debate or action. Because it directly invites action, the phrase can carry strong connotations of urgency or disruption, depending on context.

Examples of usage include phrases like "Provoquemos un debate," "Provoquemos un cambio," or simply "Provoquemos." While its interpretive force is context-dependent, the expression is primarily a linguistic tool to mobilize collective initiative rather than a neutral description of events.
