Recompensamos

Recompensamos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb recompensar. It translates to “we reward” or “we compensate,” and is used when the subject performing the action is a group including the speaker.

Etymology and form: recompensar derives from the prefix re- attached to compensar, a verb whose origins lie in Latin, through the idea of balancing, repaying, or making up for something. As a regular -ar verb, recompensar follows standard Spanish conjugation patterns for the present tense.

Usage and nuances: The verb commonly appears with a direct or indirect object indicating the beneficiary or reason for the reward, such as a person or group that receives compensation or recognition. It can be followed by a complement specifying the form of reward, for example with a noun phrase (bonificación, recompensa) or with a description of the action being rewarded. Contexts range from formal to everyday speech, and the term often implies merit, service, or contribution as the basis for the reward rather than a casual gesture.

Conjugation notes: As an ordinary -ar verb, its present indicative forms are: yo recompenso, tú recompensas, él/ella recompensa, nosotros recompensamos, vosotros recompensáis, ellos recompensan. The stress pattern is regular for words ending in a, n, or s.

Related terms: recompensa, recompensar, compensar, retribuir, gratificación. Examples of use include recompensamos a los trabajadores por su esfuerzo or recompensamos con una bonificación.
