/abisanos/
Did you know?
- The verb avisar is a linguistic relative of the English word 'advice', though in modern Spanish it focuses more on the act of notifying than providing a recommendation.
- Although avísanos is the standard way to say 'let us know', using estamos pendientes (we are pending/waiting) is a common cultural alternative that signals you are actively awaiting the news rather than just requesting it.
- In high-level business correspondence, the imperative avísenos is often replaced by the more indirect le agradeceríamos que nos avisara to avoid sounding too demanding.
