How to Say "we let" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “we let” is “dejamos” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Allowing Action Structure
When using 'dejar' to mean 'to let someone do something,' you follow it directly with the person (the object) and then the action verb in its base form (infinitive): 'Dejamos [a ellos] [entrar].'
Using 'Permitir' vs 'Dejar'
Mistake: “Using 'dejamos' in highly formal contexts like official documents.”
Correction: 'Dejar' is great for everyday permission. For official, strict permission, 'permitir' is usually better: 'Permitimos el acceso...'
