Reconverteixen

Reconverteixen is a Catalan verb form meaning “they reconvert” or “they convert back.” It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb reconvertir and is used to describe the act of converting something again or reverting a change to a previous state or function.

Etymology and form: Reconverteixen derives from the prefix re- attached to the root of convertir (to convert). The verb reconvertir belongs to the regular -ir class in Catalan, with reconverteixen as its present subjunctive? No, present indicative form for they. Other related forms include reconverteix (he/she reconverts), reconvertim (we reconvert), and reconvertit (past participle). The construction follows standard Catalan conjugation patterns for -ir verbs with a stem that takes the -eixen ending in the plural present.

Usage: The term appears in economic, industrial, and policy discourse to describe transforming or reorienting activities, industries, or skills back toward a previous model or toward a new configuration. It is often linked to the broader concept of reconversió, the process of restructuring or retraining to adapt to new conditions, technologies, or markets.

Examples:

- Les empreses reconverteixen la seva producció per adaptar-se a les necessitats del mercat actual.

- El govern promou la reconversió laboral per reorientar la força de treball cap a sectors sostenibles.
