Reponí

Reponí is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb reponer in the pretérito perfecto simple (also called the preterite). It expresses a completed action in the past, roughly translating to “I replenished,” “I replaced,” or “I restored.”

In conjugation terms, reponer follows the regular -er verb endings in the preterite with a stem that remains repon-. Standard forms include: yo reponí, tú reponiste, él/ella/usted reponió, nosotros/nosotras reponimos, vosotros/vosotras reponisteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes reponieron. The only notable orthographic feature is the accent on the final syllable in the yo form (reponí) and the third-person singular form (reponió), which marks the stressed syllable.

Etymology-wise, reponer comes from the prefix re- (“again, back”) plus poner (“to put, to place”), with origins in Latin reponere. The related noun reposición denotes the act or result of replenishing or replacing, while the verb reponerse means to recover or to regain one’s state.

Usage notes: reponí is common in narrative or descriptive past contexts where a replenishment or replacement is completed. It is compatible with objects and situations like reponí la mercancía, reponí la lámpara o reponí fuerzas tras la pausa. In some regions, synonyms such as reemplazar or reponer pueden overlap depending on nuance (reponer focusing on restoration or replenishment; reemplazar emphasizing substitution).
