redujimos

Redujimos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb reducir in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It translates to “we reduced” in English and is used to describe a completed action of decreasing or lowering something in the past. The verb reducir means to reduce, minimize, or lessen.

Reducción is the related noun, referring to the act or result of reducing. The verb reducir is irregular in the preterite, with the stem changing to reduj- in all but the first-person plural form. The standard preterite conjugation is: reduje, redujiste, redujo, redujimos, redujisteis, redujeron. Note that the third-person plural form uses redujeron, not redujieron, reflecting the common -jeron ending pattern for -ducir verbs.

Usage notes include that redujimos is used for actions completed in the past, often involving quantities, costs, distances, or rates. It frequently appears in reporting, analysis, or narrative about past decisions or changes. While redujimos conveys a completed decrease, present or future contexts use other tenses or the infinitive form reducir.

Examples:

- En el último año, redujimos las emisiones de CO2 en un 25%.

- Nosotros redujimos el presupuesto sin afectar la calidad del proyecto.
