Prioritizan

Prioritizan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb priorizar. It means that a group or several subjects give priority to certain tasks, requirements, or issues over others. The form is commonly used in everyday language as well as in business, project management, and technical contexts to describe collective prioritization actions.

Grammar and usage notes:

Prioritizar is a regular verb in many dialects. Key forms include: yo priorizo, tú priorizas, él prioriza, nosotros priorizamos, vosotros priorizáis, ellos priorizan. The gerund is priorizando, and the past imperfect is priorizaban. In plural contexts, prioritizan is used to attribute the action to multiple agents, such as teams, committees, or organizations. In informal writing, it can appear in both present and past narrative strands depending on the sentence tense.

Etymology:

Priorizar derives from prioridad, which comes from the Latin prior, meaning preceding or more important, with the Spanish suffix -izar signaling a verb meaning “to make prior” or “to treat as a priority.”
