Hello,

I read your question and context. Before to re-write the expression in Spanish, I will make a short analysis of the 3 terms:

English term: “separately” (adverb) = in Spanish: “por separado”
English term: “identifiable” (adjective) = in Spanish: “identificable”
English term: “component/s” (noun) = in Spanish: “componente/s”

Translation of “separately identifiable components” to Spanish:
1) “componentes identificables por separado”
2) or “por separado, componentes identificables”.

Regards

Domingo

VERY IMPORTANT! I would like to remark that my translation is according to the context that you give.

Probably, if you need more precision, you have to introduce all the context where you found this expression. Why?

Because “separately” is an adverb and normally in English like in Spanish, the adverbs modify verbs and in other cases they also can modify pronouns and other parts of the sentence, but to plug well an adverb, we need to know the complete sentence.

In the case of “identifiable components”, the translation is easy because “components” is the noun of this expression and “identifiable” is the adjective that qualify the noun.

In Spanish, if the noun is in plural like in this case, “components (componentes)”, the adjective is also in plural “identifiable (identificable)”.

As I said before, in the case of an adverb the translation depends of the sentence where it is located.

About “separately” is an adverb related with the family of the following terms:
- “separate (verb),
- separability (noun),
- separable (adjective),
- separably (another adverb),
- separateness (noun),
- separation (noun),
- separative (adjective),
- separator (noun)”.

All these terms including “separately” come from the verb “separate” that means: “to set or keep apart” or “disunite”.

Ther roots of the English verb “separate” and the Spanish “separar” are the same. They are Latin roots. And the “separately” translated to Spanish is “por separado”, an expression that use the preposition “por” and the Past Participe of the verb “separar” that is “separado”.

I hope this analysis helps you in your work.
