Intercambiemos (subjunctive/imperative)
The verb 'intercambiar' is conjugated in the present subjunctive first‑person plural, which in Spanish also serves as a polite suggestion or inclusive imperative: 'let's exchange'.
Nuestros (possessive adjective)
‘Nuestros’ must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies; here it is masculine plural to match ‘datos’.
Datos (plural noun)
‘Datos’ is a masculine plural noun meaning ‘information, details, or contact data’. No article is needed when speaking generally about ‘our data’.

Sure, here's mine and you can give me yours.
✕Common Mistakes
Intercambiamos nuestros datos.
‘Intercambiamos’ is indicative (we exchange) and does not convey the suggestion ‘let’s exchange’. Use the subjunctive/imperative form ‘intercambiemos’.
Intercambiemos nuestro datos.
Possessive adjectives must agree in number; ‘nuestro’ is singular, but ‘datos’ is plural. Use ‘nuestros’.
Intercambiemos los datos.
Adding the definite article ‘los’ changes the nuance to ‘the data’ (specific data) rather than ‘our data’. It’s not wrong grammatically, but it sounds less natural in this context.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, exchanging contact details is usually done after a brief rapport has been built. Choose the level of formality (tú vs. usted) based on the context, and be specific if you need a particular piece of information (e.g., ‘tu número de teléfono’). The word ‘datos’ can feel a bit formal; saying ‘contactos’ or ‘información de contacto’ often sounds more natural in casual conversation.
