Comparamos el requisito imprescindible con el requisito valorable.

Comparamos is the nosotros form of the verb comparar, meaning to compare.

So it can mean:

• we compare
• we are comparing

Depending on context, it can also be we compared, because the present and preterite forms are sometimes identical for nosotros verbs ending in -ar.

Out of context, most learners will usually read it first as we compare / we are comparing.

Because Spanish often drops the subject pronoun when it is clear from the verb ending.

• Comparamos already tells you the subject is we
• So nosotros is not necessary

You can say Nosotros comparamos..., but it usually adds emphasis or contrast, for example:

• Nosotros comparamos los requisitos, ellos los clasifican.

In a neutral sentence, leaving out nosotros is more natural.

Spanish often uses the definite article more than English does.

Here, el requisito imprescindible and el requisito valorable refer to two specific categories or types of requirement:

• the essential requirement
• the desirable / valued requirement

Repeating el helps clearly separate the two things being compared.

Repeating requisito makes the sentence clearer and more formal.

• Comparamos el requisito imprescindible con el requisito valorable = fully explicit
• Comparamos el requisito imprescindible con el valorable = possible, but less precise and a bit more dependent on context

Spanish often repeats the noun when contrasting two parallel items, especially in formal or technical language.

Requisito means requirement.

It is commonly used in formal contexts such as:

• job offers
• applications
• legal or administrative procedures
• academic entry conditions

So this sentence sounds like something you might read in HR, recruitment, or official documentation.

They describe two very different kinds of requirement.

Imprescindible means:

• essential
• indispensable
• absolutely necessary

If something is imprescindible, you must have it.

Valorable is especially common in Spain in job ads and HR language. It means something like:

• desirable
• considered a plus
• looked on favourably
• nice to have

If something is valorable, it is not strictly required, but it will help the candidate.

So the contrast is basically:

• requisito imprescindible = mandatory requirement
• requisito valorable = desirable requirement

Yes, especially in Spain, where it is very common in recruitment and professional contexts.

In job ads, you often see things like:

• Se valorará experiencia previa
• Conocimientos de inglés valorables

To a learner, valorable may look unusual because it does not always translate neatly into natural English. In Spain, though, it is very normal in this kind of register.

In less formal or different varieties of Spanish, people might prefer other wording depending on context.

Because Spanish commonly uses comparar A con B to mean compare A with B.

So:

• Comparamos el requisito imprescindible con el requisito valorable. = We compare the essential requirement with the desirable requirement.

You may also see:

• comparar A y B

Both are possible. With con, the relationship between the two items is especially explicit.

Because in Spanish, adjectives often come after the noun, especially when they are classifying or describing it in a neutral, factual way.

So:

• requisito imprescindible
• requisito valorable

is the normal order.

Putting the adjective before the noun is sometimes possible in Spanish, but it often changes the tone, adds emphasis, or sounds more literary. In this sentence, the post-noun position is the natural and standard one.

Because not all Spanish adjectives end in -o / -a.

Some adjectives, including imprescindible and valorable, have the same form for both masculine and feminine singular.

So you get:

• el requisito imprescindible
• la condición imprescindible
• el requisito valorable
• la experiencia valorable

They do change in the plural:

• requisitos imprescindibles
• condiciones valorables

Yes. This is an important point.

For many -ar verbs, the nosotros form in the present and the preterite is identical:

• comparar
  • present: comparamos
  • preterite: comparamos

So without context, comparamos can mean either:

• we compare / we are comparing
• we compared

Usually the surrounding context, a time expression, or the larger conversation makes it clear.

Yes, especially in a formal or analytical context.

The vocabulary sounds administrative or professional, particularly because of:

• requisito
• imprescindible
• valorable

It sounds like someone is discussing how to classify or evaluate job requirements, rather than speaking casually in everyday conversation.
