Breakdown of Por supuesto, reviso la póliza.
Questions & Answers about Por supuesto, reviso la póliza.
Why does reviso mean I review/check and not he/she reviews?
Because reviso is the first-person singular form of revisar in the present tense.
- yo reviso = I review / I check
- tú revisas = you review
- él/ella revisa = he/she reviews
So in Por supuesto, reviso la póliza, the speaker is saying I’ll review/check the policy or I’m reviewing/checking the policy, depending on context.
Why is there no word for I in the sentence?
Spanish often drops subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.
Here, reviso already tells you the subject is yo (I), so saying yo is usually unnecessary.
- Reviso la póliza. = I review/check the policy.
- Yo reviso la póliza. = also correct, but yo adds emphasis, contrast, or clarity.
- Yo reviso la póliza, y ella firma.
I review the policy, and she signs.
What does por supuesto mean exactly?
Por supuesto means of course, certainly, or sure.
It is a very common expression used to agree politely or confidently.
Examples:
- Por supuesto. = Of course.
- Por supuesto, te ayudo. = Of course, I’ll help you.
In your sentence, it sets a helpful, cooperative tone:
- Por supuesto, reviso la póliza. = Of course, I’ll review/check the policy.
Why is it la póliza and not just póliza?
Spanish uses definite articles (el, la, los, las) more often than English does.
So la póliza literally means the policy, and in many contexts Spanish prefers the article where English might say the policy, your policy, or simply policy, depending on the situation.
Here, la póliza probably refers to a specific policy already known from context.
Also:
What does póliza mean here?
In this context, póliza usually means an insurance policy in Latin American Spanish.
So:
- la póliza = the policy
- often specifically the insurance policy
Depending on context, póliza can refer to other kinds of official policy documents, but insurance policy is the most common meaning learners will encounter.
Is revisar the same as English to revise?
Not exactly. This is a very useful point because it can be a false friend.
In many contexts, revisar means:
- to review
- to check
- to inspect
- sometimes to look over
It does not always mean English to revise in the sense of editing or rewriting.
So:
- Reviso la póliza usually means I check/review the policy
- not necessarily I revise the policy in the editing sense
If you mean revise/edit something, Spanish may use revisar, but the exact meaning depends on context.
Why is the present tense used if the meaning in English might be I’ll review it?
Spanish often uses the present tense for actions that are happening now, very soon, or as an immediate response.
So Reviso la póliza can mean:
- I review the policy
- I’m reviewing the policy
- I’ll review the policy
depending on the situation
After Por supuesto, it can sound like an immediate promise or action:
- Of course, I’ll check the policy.
This is very natural in Spanish.
Would Voy a revisar la póliza also work?
What is the role of the comma after Por supuesto?
The comma separates the introductory expression Por supuesto from the main clause.
So the sentence is structured like this:
- Por supuesto, = introductory phrase, meaning of course
- reviso la póliza = main statement
This comma is natural in writing because Por supuesto comments on the whole sentence.
How do you pronounce póliza?
Póliza is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable:
PO-li-sa in most Latin American accents
The accent mark on ó shows where the stress goes:
- pó-li-za
A rough English-friendly approximation is:
- POH-lee-sah
But remember:
Could I say Claro, reviso la póliza instead?
Yes. Claro is also very common and natural.
Compare:
- Por supuesto = of course / certainly
- Claro = sure / of course / clearly
Both work, but the tone can be slightly different:
- Por supuesto can sound a bit more formal or polished
- Claro can sound a bit more casual and conversational
So both are good:
- Por supuesto, reviso la póliza.
- Claro, reviso la póliza.
Can this sentence sound polite in a customer-service or professional context?
Could reviso also mean I inspect or I check over?
Yes. Revisar is a flexible verb, and its best English translation depends on context.
- Reviso el documento. = I review/check the document.
- Reviso el carro. = I inspect/check the car.
- Reviso mi correo. = I check my email.
So in Reviso la póliza, possible translations include:
- I review the policy
- I check the policy
- I look over the policy
The exact choice depends on what kind of checking is meant.
