How to Say "we eat" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “we eat” is “comemos” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Todos los días comemos juntos en la oficina.
Every day we eat together in the office.
¿Qué comemos hoy? Tengo mucha hambre.
What are we eating today? I'm very hungry.
The 'We' Form
'Comemos' is the 'nosotros' form, meaning 'we' are performing the action. It's used for habits, facts, or actions happening now.
Present Tense vs. Present Continuous
Unlike English, 'comemos' can mean both 'we eat' (habit) and 'we are eating' (right now). You usually only use 'estamos comiendo' for emphasis on the continuous action.
Mixing up the endings
Mistake: “Comimos (We ate) is often confused with Comemos (We eat/are eating).”
Correction: 'Comemos' has the 'e' sound for present tense. 'Comimos' (with the 'i') is the past tense (preterite).
