Questions & Answers about Nos coordinamos para registrar el decorado.
What does nos mean here?
Nos is the reflexive/reciprocal pronoun for we.
In nos coordinamos, it suggests we coordinated with each other or we got ourselves coordinated. In other words, the action is mutual, not something done to an outside object.
Compare:
- Coordinamos el evento = We coordinate / coordinated the event
- Nos coordinamos = We coordinate / coordinated with each other
So here nos is important because it shows cooperation among the people involved.
Why is it nos coordinamos and not just coordinamos?
Because coordinarse and coordinar are not quite the same.
- coordinar = to coordinate something
- coordinarse = to coordinate oneself / to coordinate with each other
So:
- Coordinamos el rodaje = We coordinated the filming
- Nos coordinamos para registrar el decorado = We coordinated with each other in order to register/document the set
Without nos, the sentence would feel incomplete unless you added a direct object.
Is coordinamos present tense or past tense?
