Questions & Answers about Razonamos con calma.

What form is razonamos?

Razonamos is the 1st person plural form of razonar — in other words, we reason, we think things through, or we work something out logically.

It matches nosotros:

• (Nosotros) razonamos

Spanish often leaves out the subject pronoun, so nosotros is understood without being said.

Can razonamos mean both present and past?

Yes. Razonamos can be either:

• present tense: we reason / we think things through
• preterite: we reasoned

For -ar verbs, the nosotros form is the same in the present and the preterite:

• hablamos
• trabajamos
• razonamos

So by itself, Razonamos con calma is ambiguous. Normally, context tells you whether it means present or past.

Why isn’t nosotros included?

Because Spanish usually drops subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.

So:

• Razonamos con calma and
• Nosotros razonamos con calma

both work.

Adding nosotros would usually be for emphasis, contrast, or clarity:

• Nosotros razonamos con calma, pero ellos no.
