Riponete

Riponete is the second person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb riponere, meaning to put away, to store, or to place in its proper place. It can also function as the imperative form for voi, giving a command such as riponete i giornali or riponete gli utensili dopo l’uso.

Riponere is a regular -ere verb and follows typical conjugation patterns of that class. The present indicative forms are: io ripongo, tu riponi, lui ripone, noi riponiamo, voi riponete, loro ripongono. The imperative forms include riponete (voi) as the command form, with riponi (tu) for the singular informal command. The past participle is riposto, used with avere to form the present perfect: ho riposto, hai riposto, ha riposto, abbiamo riposto, avete riposto, hanno riposto.

Etymology and usage: riponere derives from the Latin repōnere, from re- (back, again) and pōnere (to place, put). In Italian, riponere conveys the sense of returning objects to their proper place or organizing items for storage. The word appears in everyday instruction, manuals, and grammatical texts, often in contexts related to tidying up, storage, or ordering spaces.
