Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'encontremos' the same as 'encontrémonos'?
They are very similar! 'Encontremos' means 'Let's find (something).' 'Encontrémonos' means 'Let's find ourselves' or, more naturally, 'Let's meet up (with each other),' using the reflexive pronoun 'nos' attached to the end.
Does 'encontremos' have the stem change (o to ue)?
No. Although the verb *encontrar* usually changes 'o' to 'ue' (like in 'encuentro' or 'encuentras'), the 'nosotros' (we) form is one of the few places where the original vowel 'o' stays the same. Remember: 'encontremos' is regular in its stem.
