Questions & Answers about Etiquetamos el lote.

Why is there no subject pronoun here? Where is we?

In Spanish, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

Here, etiquetamos has the -amos ending, which tells you the subject is nosotros/nosotras (we). So:

• Etiquetamos el lote = We label the batch / We labelled the batch
• Nosotros etiquetamos el lote is also possible, but usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Nosotros etiquetamos el lote, no ellos = We labelled the batch, not them

What does etiquetamos mean exactly?

Etiquetamos comes from the verb etiquetar, which means to label, to tag, or to put a label on something.

In a sentence like this, it usually means physically putting a label on a product, package, or batch.

Examples:

• Etiquetamos las cajas = We label the boxes
• Etiquetamos los productos = We label the products

Depending on context, English might use label, tag, or mark.
