Questions & Answers about Asimismo, os informamos de que la oficina cierra en agosto.
Why use asimismo instead of just también?
While both words mean "also" or "in addition," asimismo sets a more formal and professional tone. It is heavily used in business correspondence, official announcements, and formal writing where también might sound a bit too casual.
The translation says "We would also like to inform", but the Spanish just says informamos. Why?
In English, we often soften announcements by adding "would like to" so we don't sound too blunt. In Spanish business and formal writing, it is completely polite and standard to use the direct present tense: os informamos (literally, "we inform you").
Who does the pronoun os refer to here?
Os is the indirect object pronoun for vosotros (you all, informal plural). In Spain, companies frequently address their customers, users, or employees collectively using the familiar vosotros form rather than the formal ustedes.
Why is there a de before que in informamos de que?
The verb informar usually takes the preposition de to indicate what is being announced: informar a alguien de algo (to inform someone of something). When that "something" is a full clause starting with que, it becomes informar de que. This is a very common and correct structure in Spain.
