How to Say "we sense" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “we sense” is “sentimos” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Todos los días sentimos mucha presión en el trabajo.
Every day we feel a lot of pressure at work.
Sentimos que esta es la decisión correcta, ¿no crees?
We feel that this is the correct decision, don't you think?
The Identical Form Trap
The form 'sentimos' is special because it means both 'we feel' (Present Tense) and 'we felt' (Past Tense, Preterite). You must use context or a time word (like 'ayer' or 'hoy') to know which one is meant.
Sentir vs. Sentirse
Use 'sentimos' (from sentir) when you feel something external or an emotion directed outward (We feel the cold/We feel that...). Use 'nos sentimos' (from sentirse) when describing your internal state (We feel good/bad).
Forgetting the Stem Change Rule
Mistake: “The verb *sentir* is stem-changing (E changes to IE in most forms), but 'nosotros' and 'vosotros' are the exceptions that keep the 'e': 'sentimos' (correct) not 'sientimos' (incorrect).”
