nuovamente

Nuovamente is an Italian adverb meaning "again" or "anew." It indicates that an action, event, or state is repeated or begun once more, often after an interruption or as a renewal, rather than simply continuing from where it left off.

Etymology and form: Nuovamente is formed from the adjective nuovo (new) plus the adverbial suffix -mente, yielding nuovamente. The word is invariable with respect to gender and number and is primarily used in written or formal prose.

Usage and register: In contemporary speech, di nuovo is the more common and natural choice for everyday reinvocation. Nuovamente tends to appear in formal, literary, or bureaucratic contexts and can convey a sense of renewal, deliberate restart, or emphasis on repetition. It is frequent in official statements, legal texts, and certain kinds of literary narration.

Grammatical notes and examples: As an adverb, nuovamente modifies a verb. Examples: La procedura deve essere eseguita nuovamente. Dopo l’interruzione, il progetto è stato avviato nuovamente. In contexts requiring colloquial tone, di nuovo is usually preferred.

Nuovamente and its relatives: Although closely related to “di nuovo” and to forms like “novamente” used in some registers, nuovamente retains a distinctly formal or literary flavor in standard Italian. In practical writing, choosing between nuovamente and di nuovo depends on the desired tone and level of formality.
