Revisamos el detergente líquido y la velocidad de centrifugado.

Revisamos comes from the verb revisar, which often means to check, to inspect, or to review.

In this sentence, revisamos most naturally means we check or we reviewed/checked, depending on context.

A useful thing to know: revisamos can be either:

• present tense: we check / we are checking
• preterite: we checked / we reviewed

So only the wider context tells you which one it is.

Because some Spanish verb forms are identical in different tenses.

For -ar verbs like revisar:

• present: nosotros revisamos
• preterite: nosotros revisamos

They look exactly the same.

So Spanish speakers rely on context, for example:

• Ahora revisamos el detergente... = Now we’re checking the detergent...
• Ayer revisamos el detergente... = Yesterday we checked the detergent...

In Spanish, descriptive adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• detergente líquido = liquid detergent
• literally: detergent liquid

That word order is very normal in Spanish. Putting líquido before the noun would sound unusual here and would not be the standard way to say it.

Because líquido agrees with detergente, and detergente is treated here as a masculine singular noun:

• el detergente
• líquido

So the adjective also stays masculine singular:

• el detergente líquido

If the noun were feminine, the adjective would change:

• la sustancia líquida

Spanish usually uses definite articles more often than English.

Here:

• el detergente líquido
• la velocidad de centrifugado

This can sound more natural in Spanish even when English might sometimes say just liquid detergent or spin speed without the.

Also, each noun keeps its own article because they are two separate things:

• the liquid detergent
• and the spin speed

It means the spin speed.

Breaking it down:

• la velocidad = the speed
• de centrifugado = of spinning / of spin cycle

So literally it is something like the speed of spinning, but in natural English, especially for washing machines, spin speed is the best translation.

Centrifugado comes from centrifugar, which means to spin in the laundry/machine sense.

In washing-machine vocabulary, centrifugado refers to the spin cycle or spinning stage that removes water from clothes.

So:

• velocidad de centrifugado = spin speed
• ciclo de centrifugado = spin cycle

This is a very common household/appliance term in Spanish.

Because here centrifugado is being used in a general, descriptive way, not as a specific identified thing.

So:

• velocidad de centrifugado = spin speed
• literally: speed of spinning

If you said del centrifugado, it would mean of the spin cycle/spinning, referring to a specific one. That is not the normal phrase here.

Spanish often uses de + noun to make expressions like this:

• velocidad de rotación
• tarjeta de crédito
• máquina de coser

Because centrifugado here is an abstract/process noun, not a countable plural item.

It refers to the process of spinning in general, so singular is the normal choice:

• velocidad de centrifugado

It works similarly to English expressions like:

• spin speed
• washing machine settings where the modifying word does not have to be plural even if the meaning is general.

Yes. Y simply means and.

It links the two things being checked:

• el detergente líquido
• la velocidad de centrifugado

One small pronunciation note: y is usually pronounced like an ee sound when it appears alone as a word.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

reh-bee-SAH-mos el deh-ter-HEN-teh LEE-kee-doh ee lah beh-loh-see-DAHD deh sen-tree-foo-GAH-doh

A few helpful notes for Spain:

• revisamos: stress on sa
• líquido: stress on lí
• velocidad: stress on the final syllable dad
• centrifugado: stress on ga
• In much of Spain, c before i in centrifugado has a th sound, so it may sound like thentrifugado

Yes, in many contexts you could.

Possible options include:

• revisamos = we check/review
• comprobamos = we verify/check
• miramos = we look at/check in a more general or informal sense

The best choice depends on nuance:

• revisar suggests examining something
• comprobar suggests confirming whether it is correct
• mirar is less precise and more like look at

So revisamos is a good, natural choice if you mean checking these settings or items.

Yes, especially in a practical or technical context, such as discussing a washing machine, laundry settings, or troubleshooting.

It sounds like:

• instructions,
• a checklist item,
• or a description of what we are checking.

In everyday conversation, a Spanish speaker might also say something slightly more specific depending on the situation, for example:

• Revisamos el detergente y la velocidad de centrifugado.
• Vamos a revisar el detergente líquido y la velocidad de centrifugado.

But the original sentence is perfectly natural.
