transformamos

Transformamos is a verb form used in both Spanish and Portuguese. It is the first-person plural present indicative of the verb transformar, meaning "we transform" or "we are transforming." The form expresses a collective action carried out by the speaker and at least one other participant.

Etymology and use across languages: Transformar derives from the Latin transformare, composed of trans- “across” and forma “shape” or “form.” In orthography, transformamos is identical in both Spanish and Portuguese, though pronunciation and accompanying pronouns differ between the languages.

Usage in Spanish: Transformamos appears in everyday and formal contexts to state a current or general action by “we.” Example: Transformamos nuestros hábitos para cuidar el medio ambiente. It often pairs with nouns or adverbs to emphasize the scope of change, such as transformamos nuestra forma de pensar or transformamos el entorno.

Usage in Portuguese: In Brazilian and European Portuguese, transformamos is likewise the present tense for the subject “nós.” Example: Transformamos nossa comunidade por meio da educação. It is used in similar contexts to express collective change, from personal development to social or organizational reform.

Grammar notes: Transformamos is a regular -ar verb form in the present indicative. In Spanish, it corresponds to the nosotros/nosotras subject; in Portuguese, to nós. The form highlights agency and collaboration, common in debates about improvement, policy, education, and culture.
