Comprable 

A phonetic spelling of the word comparable (Pronounced "Com-parable" with the letter "a" being silenced)

Used to describe something as "sufficiently similar" or an "adequate/suitable replacement". This is different to comparable which is broadly used to indicate similarities between things.
Waiter: I'm afraid we don't have any salmon left, would a beef dish be comparable?
Customer: Well, they are comparable in that they are both food, but they aren't comprable as they aren't sufficiently similar like a cod dish.

Words you can keep

comprable 

In Spanish, it means buyable or "may/can be bought". In English, it's a misspelling of the word "comparable", due to the fact that the first "a" is silent in the most common of multiple widely accepted pronunciations. Some people claim it's a fake word that people ironically use to sound smart, but the real irony is that people who make that claim are trying to sound smart when they don't know what they're talking about. It's not a fake word, it's a phonetic misspelling of a real word.
Saying that "comprable" is a fake word is comparable to saying that "diffrence" is a fake word.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
