Räter

Rééter is not a standard French verb. It is generally considered an incorrect or nonstandard spelling of répéter, which means to repeat, to say again, or to rehearse. The correct form uses the root répéter with two accented e sounds.

Etymology and form: répéter comes from Latin repetere (to fetch again, to take again) via Old French repeter. In modern French, répéter is an −er verb and follows the regular pattern for -er verbs. The nonstandard spelling rééter appears in some texts or among learners as a misspelling rather than a recognized variant.

Usage: répéter has multiple senses. It can mean to say something again (restate or reiterate), to perform or practice something again (rehearse), or to do an action again. In everyday language: Je répète la phrase pour être sûr; Nous devons répéter le refrain; Il répètera demain. In the passé composé one uses avoir répété (j’ai répété), and other tenses follow the regular -er verb conjugation.

Orthography: In standard French, the correct spelling is répéter. The form rééter is not listed in reputable dictionaries and is typically flagged as an error. Learners are advised to use répéter in all formal writing and most editorial contexts.

Conjugation (présent; exemple avec répéter): je répète, tu répètes, il répète, nous répétons, vous répétez, ils répètent. Other tenses for répéter follow regular -er patterns: j’ai répété; je répéterai; nous répétions.
