Confirmamos el total.

Confirmamos is the first-person plural form of confirmar.

That means it corresponds to we.

In context, it can mean:

• we confirm
• we are confirming

It is the present indicative form, but there is an important extra point: this same spelling can also be the preterite (we confirmed), depending on context.

Examples:

• Ahora confirmamos el total. = We’re confirming the total now.
• Ayer confirmamos el total. = We confirmed the total yesterday.

So the surrounding words usually tell you which time meaning is intended.

Because Spanish often omits subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The ending -amos already tells you the subject is we, so nosotros is usually unnecessary.

So:

• Confirmamos el total.
• Nosotros confirmamos el total.

Both are grammatical, but the version without nosotros is more natural in most situations.

You would add nosotros only for emphasis, contrast, or clarity:

• Nosotros confirmamos el total, pero ellos no.

In Spanish, nouns often need an article where English might omit one.

Here, el total means the total or the total amount, referring to a specific total that both speaker and listener understand from the context.

So in many everyday situations, Spanish naturally uses:

• el total
• el importe
• la cantidad

Saying just total here would usually sound incomplete or unnatural.

Here, total is being used as a noun.

In el total, it means something like:

• the total
• the total amount
• the final sum

But total can also be an adjective in other sentences.

For example:

• el precio total = the total price
• la cantidad total = the total amount

So in your sentence:

• Confirmamos el total. total is a noun.

Yes. When total is used as a noun in this sense, it is normally treated as masculine singular, so it takes el.

That is why you get:

• el total

If total is an adjective, it agrees with the noun it describes:

• el importe total
• la cantidad total

Notice that the adjective total does not change in the singular for masculine/feminine, but the article and noun still show gender.

Yes. This is one of the most important things to notice here.

For many -ar verbs, the nosotros form of the present and the preterite is spelled the same.

So:

• confirmamos can mean we confirm / we are confirming
• confirmamos can also mean we confirmed

The meaning comes from context.

Examples:

• Ahora confirmamos el total. = present
• Ayer confirmamos el total. = preterite

This is completely normal in Spanish, and native speakers rely on time expressions and context to understand it.

Yes, it can be natural, especially in a business, administrative, customer-service, or payment/order context.

It sounds like something you might hear or read when talking about:

• an invoice
• a booking
• an order
• a bill
• a payment amount

Depending on the exact situation, Spanish speakers in Spain might also say:

• Confirmamos el importe total.
• Confirmamos la cantidad total.
• Le confirmamos el total.
• Le confirmamos el importe.

So Confirmamos el total is understandable and natural, especially when the situation makes clear what total is being discussed.

Yes, but Confirmamos el total is the most neutral order.

Spanish word order is more flexible than English, but not all orders sound equally natural in every context.

Neutral:

• Confirmamos el total.

For emphasis:

• El total lo confirmamos ahora.
• Nosotros confirmamos el total.

What you usually would not do is simply drop the article and say:

• Confirmamos total.
  That sounds unnatural here.

So the basic sentence is already the standard, natural version.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

kon-feer-MAH-mos el toh-TAL

A more careful approximation:

• confirmamos → the stress is on ma
• total → the stress is on the last syllable, tal

A few points:

• c in confirmamos sounds like a hard k, because it comes before o
• r in confirmamos is a light Spanish r
• el is short and unstressed
• total has a clear final stressed syllable

So the rhythm is roughly:

con-fir-MA-mos el to-TAL

Not always.

These verbs can overlap, but they are not identical.

• confirmar = to confirm, to state or establish that something is correct/final
• verificar = to verify, often a bit more formal or technical
• comprobar = to check, test, or make sure

So:

• Confirmamos el total suggests we confirm the final amount
• Comprobamos el total suggests we check the total
• Verificamos el total sounds more formal/technical, like we verify the total

In many real situations, the best choice depends on whether you are checking the amount or officially confirming it.
