reafirmó

Reafirmó is the third-person singular form of the Spanish verb reafirmar in the pretérito perfecto simple (preterite). It indicates that someone reaffirmed or confirmed again a statement, commitment, or position in the past. The verb reafirmar denotes giving renewed support or emphasis to something that has been stated or established.

Etymology and form: reafirmar is formed from the prefix re- (again, back) plus afirmar (to affirm). The root afirm- comes from Latin affirmare, meaning to declare true or assert. Reaffirmar follows regular -ar conjugation patterns in the simple past, so reafirmó shows the standard ending for the third-person singular in this tense.

Conjugation and usage: As a regular -ar verb, the preterite forms are: yo reafirmé, tú reafirmaste, él reafirmó, nosotros reafirmamos, vosotros reafirmasteis, ellos reafirmaron. The form reafirmó is used with él/ella/usted as the subject. In narrative or formal writing, it is employed to report a past act of reiterating a position, policy, or statement.

Examples: "El presidente reafirmó su compromiso con la transparencia." "La compañía reafirmó su intención de mantener los estándares de calidad."
