supimos

Supimos is the first-person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb saber, meaning "we knew" or "we found out." It is used to indicate knowledge or realization that occurred in the past. For example, "Supimos la verdad ayer" translates to "We learned the truth yesterday." The form also appears in contexts where a past event of discovering information is reported, such as "No supimos qué hacer" ("We didn't know what to do").

Linguistic and etymological notes: Supimos comes from the verb saber, whose roots trace to the Latin sapere via Old Spanish. In the preterite tense, saber is conjugated irregularly: yo supe, tú supiste, él supo, nosotros supimos, vosotros supisteis, ellos supieron.

Usage considerations: Although "supimos" is most commonly encountered as a verb form, it is not typically used as a noun or place name. It may appear in literary or instructional texts as an example of past tense conjugation.
