recomendamos

Recomendamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb recomendar. It means to suggest, advise, or endorse something to others, with the subject being “we” (the speaker and others). The form is commonly used to present a direct recommendation or opinion in everyday and formal contexts.

Grammatically, recommended use includes two main patterns. With a direct object, as in Recomendamos este libro, you name what is being endorsed. With a subordinate clause, you can use que plus the subjunctive: Recomendamos que lo hagas, Recomendamos que revise las condiciones. The form participates in the broader conjugation of recomendar, where many present-tense forms show a stem change (e → ie in most forms, while recomendamos retains the normal ending for the nosotros form).

Etymology and related forms: Recomendamos comes from Spanish recommendar origins in Latin commendare, with the re- prefix and the -ar verb pattern. Related words include recomendación (noun, the act or instance of recommending), recomendable (adjective, advisable or recommended), and recomendado/recomendada (past participle, as in the item that has been recommended).

Usage notes: In formal or impersonal writing, one often uses se recomienda (impersonal passive) to express a general guideline without a specified subject. Recomendamos emphasizes a cooperative or collective stance, signaling that the recommendation comes from the speaker or the speaker’s group. In marketing or customer guidance, explicit use of recomendamos is common, but it should be accurate and not misleading.

Examples: Recomendamos este producto por su durabilidad. Recomendamos que consulte a un profesional. Recomendamos revisar las condiciones antes de continuar.
