sentíem

sentíem

"Sentíem" means "we felt" or "we heard" in English.

Here, 'sentíem' is used to mean that we perceived sounds, as the imperfect tense of 'sentir', implying a habitual or ongoing activity in the past.

Quan érem petits, sentíem els sons de la natura cada matí.

When we were little, we used to hear the sounds of nature every morning.

In this context, 'sentíem' expresses an emotional state or feeling at a particular occasion in the past.

En aquell moment, sentíem una gran emoció en retrobar-nos amb el vell amic.

At that moment, we felt great emotion when reuniting with the old friend.

Here, 'sentíem' again refers to the perception of sounds but negated, emphasizing the absence of this sensory reception.

Mai no sentíem el soroll del tren perquè ens concentràvem molt en la música.

We never heard the noise of the train because we were deeply focused on the music.
