Description

A pension is a regular payment made to individuals, typically after retirement, as part of a financial plan or social security system. It serves as a source of income for individuals who have ceased working due to age or disability.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should ensure they use the term 'pensión' in formal contexts, as it is the correct term in medical and financial discussions. Be cautious of colloquial terms like 'jubilación' which may be used informally but do not convey the same meaning. It's important to clarify the context of the pension being discussed, whether it is a government benefit or a private arrangement.

Example Sentences

EN: After years of service, she finally received her pension.

ES: Después de años de servicio, finalmente recibió su pensión.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'pensión' with 'jubilación'; misinterpreting 'pensión' as a one-time payment instead of a regular income; mixing up the terms in informal settings.
