Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the 'b' in *saber* change to a 'p' in 'sepamos'?
This is an ancient irregularity in the verb *saber*. The 'p' sound comes from the Latin *sapiam* (the original subjunctive form). Spanish kept this older, irregular root for the special forms like 'sepa,' 'sepas,' and 'sepamos' instead of building them off the current indicative form.
Is 'sepamos' the only way to say 'Let's know'?
Yes, 'sepamos' is the standard way to suggest 'Let's know' or 'Let's acknowledge' using the verb *saber*. This is the affirmative 'nosotros' command form.
