tolerabamus

Tolerabamus is a Latin verb form. It is the first-person plural imperfect active indicative of the verb tolerare, which means "to endure," "to bear," or "to tolerate." Therefore, "tolerabamus" translates to "we were enduring," "we were bearing," or "we were tolerating." The imperfect tense in Latin describes an ongoing or repeated action in the past. This specific form indicates that a group of people ("we") were engaged in the act of enduring, bearing, or tolerating something over a period of time in the past. It would appear in Latin sentences to describe a continuous state or habitual action of the first-person plural subject. For example, a sentence might read, "Nos difficilem condicionem tolerabamus," meaning "We were enduring the difficult condition." The context of the sentence would determine the precise nuance of the verb's meaning.
