Dejamos de priorizar solo la urgencia.

Because dejar de + infinitive is a very common Spanish structure meaning to stop doing something or to no longer do something.

So here:

• dejar = usually to leave
• dejar de priorizar = to stop prioritizing

This is a set expression, so you should learn dejar de as a chunk.

Examples:

• Dejé de fumar. = I stopped smoking.
• Dejamos de discutir. = We stopped arguing.

Because the pattern is dejar de + infinitive.

You normally cannot remove the de if you want the meaning stop doing.

• Dejamos de priorizar... = We stopped / stop prioritizing...
• Dejamos priorizar... would not mean the same thing at all.

So the de is required by this construction.

It can be either one.

For nosotros, the form dejamos is the same in:

• present indicative: we stop / we leave
• preterite: we stopped / we left

So this sentence by itself is ambiguous:

• We stop / are stopping prioritizing only urgency
• We stopped prioritizing only urgency

The context tells you which one it is.

For example:

• Ayer dejamos de priorizar solo la urgencia. → clearly past
• In a policy statement or announcement, Dejamos de priorizar solo la urgencia can sound like We are no longer prioritizing only urgency

Because Spanish often drops subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.

• Dejamos already tells you the subject is we
• So nosotros is optional

You could say:

• Nosotros dejamos de priorizar solo la urgencia

But that would usually add emphasis, contrast, or clarity. In normal Spanish, leaving out nosotros is more natural.

Here solo means only.

In this sentence, it most naturally modifies la urgencia, so the idea is:

• only urgency
• not urgency plus other factors

So the sentence is saying that urgency is not the only thing being prioritized anymore.

Its position matters. Because solo is right before la urgencia, the strongest reading is:

• prioritize only urgency

rather than some other meaning like only prioritize.

Because Spanish often uses the definite article with abstract nouns more than English does.

So la urgencia here refers to urgency as a concept, criterion, or factor.

This is very normal Spanish.

Compare:

• la paciencia = patience
• la educación = education
• la urgencia = urgency

English often drops the article in these cases, but Spanish frequently keeps it.

Yes, solo without an accent is correct.

Modern standard Spanish usually writes:

• solo

The older spelling:

• sólo

was used to distinguish only from alone, but current academic spelling generally prefers solo without the accent except in rare cases of real ambiguity.

So in this sentence, solo is completely standard.

Yes, priorizar is a normal and widely understood Spanish verb.

It is especially common in:

• business
• politics
• administration
• healthcare
• institutional language

A more alternative way to express the same idea would be:

• dar prioridad a

For example:

• Dejamos de priorizar solo la urgencia
• Dejamos de dar prioridad solo a la urgencia

Both are valid, though priorizar is more compact and modern-sounding.

The key difference is that dejamos de suggests a change.

• Dejamos de priorizar solo la urgencia = we stopped making urgency the only priority; it used to be that way, and now it has changed
• No priorizamos solo la urgencia = we do not prioritize only urgency; this states the current situation, but it does not strongly highlight the change

So dejamos de is useful when you want to emphasize a shift in approach or policy.

In standard peninsular Spanish, a rough pronunciation would be:

deh-HA-mos deh pree-oh-ree-thar SO-lo la oor-HEN-thya

A few Spain-specific points:

• z in priorizar is pronounced like th in thin
• c before i in urgencia is also pronounced like th in most of Spain
• the stress is on:
  • de-JA-mos
  • prio-ri-ZAR
  • ur-GEN-cia

If you hear Latin American Spanish, those z/c sounds are usually pronounced like s instead.
