Usage Note

Comparable follows a two-form pattern (no separate feminine): un resultado comparable, una cifra comparable. It typically pairs with a or con (comparable a, comparable con) to introduce the point of comparison. The stress falls on the third syllable, not the second as English speakers might expect.

Examples

"Los dos precios son comparables."

Natural Translation

The two prices are comparable.
