Repetir can mean saying or doing something another time.

The idea

In the present, stressed e changes to i in repito and repite; nosotros repetimos keeps e.

Examples

  • Repito la palabra despacio.I repeat the word slowly.
  • Ella repite la pregunta para el grupo.She repeats the question for the group.
  • Repetimos el ejercicio después del ejemplo.We repeat the exercise after the example.
  • ¿Puedes repetir la dirección?Can you repeat the address?
  • Los estudiantes repiten la frase.The students repeat the sentence.
  • No entiendo; ¿puedes repetirlo?I do not understand; can you repeat it?
