Revisamos la urgencia y la tarea pendiente.

It can mean several related things depending on context.

With revisar, common translations are:

• to review
• to check
• to look over
• sometimes to inspect

So Revisamos la urgencia y la tarea pendiente could mean:

• We review/check the urgency and the pending task
• or, in another context, We reviewed the urgency and the pending task

A useful warning: Spanish revisar often means to check/look over, not always to revise in the English sense of changing a text. For revise for an exam, Spanish often uses repasar instead.

It can be either:

• present indicative: we review / we check
• preterite: we reviewed / we checked

This is a very common feature of -ar verbs in Spanish: the nosotros form is identical in the present and the preterite.

Examples:

• Hoy revisamos la urgencia. = Today we review/check the urgency.
• Ayer revisamos la urgencia. = Yesterday we reviewed/checked the urgency.

So you need context to know which one is meant.

Because Spanish often drops subject pronouns when the verb already shows who the subject is.

• Revisamos already tells you the subject is we
• so nosotros is usually unnecessary

You could say:

• Nosotros revisamos la urgencia y la tarea pendiente

but that sounds more emphatic, as if you are stressing we rather than someone else.

Because both nouns are being presented as specific things:

• la urgencia = the urgency / the urgent matter
• la tarea pendiente = the pending task

Spanish often uses the definite article more naturally than English does, and here each noun has its own article because they are two separate items in the list.

You could not normally say:

• Revisamos urgencia y tarea pendiente

That sounds incomplete or unnatural in normal Spanish.

Urgencia literally means urgency, but in real use it can refer to:

• the level of urgency
• an urgent issue
• an urgent matter

So depending on context, la urgencia might mean:

• how urgent something is
• the urgent case itself

In workplace or task-related Spanish, this kind of noun is often slightly abstract, so English may translate it more naturally as the urgency or the urgent issue.

It means pending task, outstanding task, or unfinished task.

• tarea = task, piece of work, assignment
• pendiente = pending, outstanding, still to be done

So la tarea pendiente is a task that has not been completed yet.

Depending on context, English might translate it as:

• the pending task
• the outstanding task
• the remaining task

Because in Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• tarea pendiente = pending task

is the normal order.

Putting pendiente before the noun would sound unusual here and would not be the standard phrasing.

This noun + adjective pattern is very common:

• problema urgente
• documento importante
• asunto pendiente

No. Pendiente is a very common adjective with several meanings depending on context.

Here it means pending or still unfinished, but it can also mean:

• awaiting
• still to be dealt with
• keeping an eye on in phrases like estar pendiente de

Examples:

• Tengo una llamada pendiente. = I still need to make/return a call.
• Estamos pendientes de tu respuesta. = We are waiting for / looking out for your reply.

So in this sentence, pendiente means the task is still open.

Yes, that is possible in the right context, especially if revisamos is understood as past tense.

Possible English translations include:

• We reviewed the urgency and the pending task
• We checked the urgency and the pending task
• We looked over the urgency and the pending task

The most natural choice depends on what is actually happening:

• if people are evaluating something, reviewed
• if they are verifying details, checked
• if they are quickly examining something, looked over

Not here.

Spanish normally uses y for and, but it changes to e before words that begin with an i sound:

• padre e hijo
• España e Italia

But tarea pendiente does not begin with an i sound, so y stays the same:

• la urgencia y la tarea pendiente

Yes, it is grammatical and natural, especially in a work, planning, or administrative context.

That said, native speakers might choose slightly different wording depending on what they want to emphasise. For example:

• Revisamos la urgencia y la tarea que queda pendiente.
• Revisamos la urgencia y la tarea aún pendiente.
• Revisamos el nivel de urgencia y la tarea pendiente.

But the original sentence is perfectly fine and understandable in Spanish from Spain.

A Spain Spanish pronunciation would be approximately:

reh-bee-SAH-mos la oor-HEN-thya ee la tah-REH-ah pen-DYEN-teh

A few useful points:

• v in revisamos sounds like a soft Spanish b
• g before e in urgencia sounds like the strong throaty Spanish sound
• in much of Spain, c before i/e sounds like th in thin, so urgencia sounds like oor-HEN-thya
• y before a consonant is pronounced like ee

If you are learning a Latin American accent, urgencia would usually sound more like oor-HEN-sya.
