How to Say "we know" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “we know” is “sabemos” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Nosotros sabemos la respuesta.
We know the answer.
No sabemos a qué hora llega el tren.
We don't know what time the train arrives.
Sabemos hablar español.
We know how to speak Spanish.
The 'We' Form
The '-emos' ending on 'sabemos' tells you the action is being done by 'we' (nosotros/nosotras). This is a very common pattern for verbs that end in '-er' in Spanish.
Knowing Facts vs. Knowing People
This is super important! Use 'saber' (like in 'sabemos') for facts, information, and skills. Use a different verb, 'conocer', when you're talking about being familiar with people, places, or things.
Using 'sabemos' for People
Mistake: “Sabemos a tu hermano.”
Correction: Conocemos a tu hermano. (We know your brother.) Use 'conocer' to say you know or are familiar with a person.
