Qualify
Spanish: Reunir los Requisitos
Description
To qualify means to meet the necessary requirements or criteria for a specific purpose, often related to eligibility for a program or service. In medical contexts, this may refer to meeting health or legal standards for immigration or treatment.
Interpreter Notes
Interpreters should be aware that 'reunir los requisitos' is used in formal contexts, particularly in immigration discussions. Common variants include 'cumplir con los requisitos' (colloquial) and 'calificar' (regional), but it is recommended to stick to the glossary term in formal settings to avoid confusion.
Example Sentences
EN: To qualify for the program, applicants must provide proof of their medical history.
ES: Para reunirse los requisitos del programa, los solicitantes deben proporcionar prueba de su historial médico.
Common Interpreter Mistakes
Confusing 'reunir los requisitos' with 'calificar' in informal contexts; misinterpreting the term as purely legal rather than also medical; mixing up eligibility criteria with general qualifications.
