Learning a new language takes a lot of repetition, so it\u2019s about time we learn about this verb: repetir<\/em>. Repetir is not that hard to conjugate, but it does have several meanings to consider.<\/p>\n In this article, we\u2019ll go over the repetir <\/em>conjugation. We\u2019ll start by explaining what type of verb this is and look into its different meanings. We\u2019ll then move on to repetir <\/em>conjugation basics and make our way to more advanced tenses. We\u2019ll try not to repeat ourselves too much as we do this.<\/p>\n Repetir <\/em>is a stem-changing verb. This means it doesn\u2019t follow the standard conjugation for verbs ending in \u201c-ir.\u201d But don\u2019t worry! Repetir<\/em> changes the second \u201ce\u201d for an \u201ci\u201d just in a handful of tenses, as we\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n As you probably know by now, in Spanish, verbs always end either in \u201c-ar,\u201d \u201c-er,\u201d or \u201cir.\u201d The other part of the verb is called a stem. Stem-changing verbs are those that change the last vowel of the stem in some conjugations. You can find more information about stem-changing verbs in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n Repetir<\/em> has the added challenge of having different meanings and connotations. We\u2019ll look at the most common below.<\/p>\n The most common meaning of repetir<\/em> is to repeat something. It could be an action, a sentence, or even food! But it can also mean doing something over (like a test or an exam) or getting a potent aftertaste. Let\u2019s look at each of these.<\/p>\n Repetir <\/em>can merely mean doing a specific activity again. Let\u2019s look at a couple of examples.<\/p>\n Just like in English, repetir <\/em>is also used when we repeat our or someone else\u2019s words. This is a widespread use of the verb. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n Do you usually have seconds or thirds? In Spanish, we also repeat food. No matter how often you refill your plate, you\u2019ll use the same verb. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure you\u2019d prefer to have another serving than resit an exam or retake a course. But the latter is another of the meanings behind the verb repetir.<\/em><\/p>\n The final definition of repetir<\/em> is quite specific. Do you know that aftertaste you get when eating or drinking particularly strong foods or drinks? Like garlic, gazpacho<\/a>, or oranges? Well, repetir<\/em> can also refer to that.<\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve covered the different meanings of repetir<\/em>, let\u2019s dig into its conjugation. We\u2019ll start by looking at its verbals: the infinitive, the gerund and the participle. As you may know, verbals function as nouns, adjectives and adverbs instead of actual verbs. This may sound a bit tricky, but you\u2019ll have it down in a snap. We\u2019ll share some examples below that show that verbals are an easy start to the repetir <\/em>conjugation.<\/p>\n Repetir<\/em><\/strong> (to repeat)<\/p>\n Repitiendo<\/em><\/strong> (repeating)<\/p>\n Repetido<\/em><\/strong> (repeated)<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve discussed in previous articles, there are 10 tenses in the indicative mood in the Spanish language. In this section, we\u2019ll go over the most common and simplest forms of the repetir <\/em>conjugation: presente <\/em>(present), pret\u00e9rito imperfecto <\/em>(imperfect preterite, a form of the past tense), pret\u00e9rito perfecto <\/em>(perfect preterite, another form of the past tense) and futuro <\/em>(future).<\/p>\n<\/a>What kind of verb is repetir<\/em>?<\/h2>\n
