Nosotros tenemos o Tenemos??

Question

Which phrase is "more" correct (&/or more commonly used)?

Nosotros tenemos flores rojas o Tenemos flores rojas

Answer 1

Inclusion of the pronoun is often used when you wish to exclude implied others.

We (unlike all the neighboring florists) have red flowers.

A mí me gusta... I (unlike the rest of you plebians) like....

Answer 2

i think it is my understanding that nosotros would be used usually only to accentuate the 'we', so probably just tenemos flores.. would commonly be used, unless the speaker wanted to re-iterate that WE have flowers..

Answer 3

i speak english, spanish and portuguese, nosotros means we . for exemple : we like dance . nosotros gostamos de bailar. in portuguese : nos gostamos de dançar.

bye (english)

hasta(spanish)

tchau (portuguese)

)

en castellano..nos gusta bailar! - drvicente, Sep 25, 2011

Wouldn't "we like to dance" be "nos gusta bailar"? - SonrisaDelSol, Sep 25, 2011

Sonrisa I think that depends on whether dance is a noun or a verb here. - Yeser007, Sep 25, 2011

Jorgino, please remember to use proper capitalization in all posts. Those learning English here would be otherwise confused. - Yeser007, Sep 25, 2011

Answer 4

They are both correct...depends on how emphatic you want to be...

Answer 6

I would also have to agree. It's normally not needed to add nosotros, just like you normally wouldn't have to put "yo" before estoy for example.

Answer 7

Yes, I have to agree with cheeseisyummy, adding the "nosotros" would just re-iterate the "we" in the sentence. Although adding "nosotros" is formally best, just plain "tenemos" works just fine.
