reaparece

Reaparece is a Spanish verb form used to express that someone or something reappears after having been absent. Grammatically, reaparece is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb reaparecer.

Reaparecer is formed by the prefix re- meaning “again” and the verb aparecer, meaning “to appear.” The sense is to appear again after a prior appearance or absence. The term derives from the same Latin root as aparecer, and follows the same semantic evolution into Spanish.

Conjugation notes: The present tense paradigm is: yo reaparezco, tú reapareces, él/ella reaparece, nosotros reaparecemos, vosotros reaparecéis, ellos reaparecen. The yo form reaparezco is irregular in this verb, while the other forms follow the standard -er verb endings with the usual stem changes in other tenses (reapareció, reaparecía, reapareceré, etc.).

Usage: Reaparece is used for literal reappearance, for returning to a state or situation, or for recurring events or ideas. Examples include: “La enfermedad reaparece en temporadas frías” or “El personaje reaparece en la secuela.” It can be used in both concrete and figurative contexts, often implying a renewal or recurrence after an interval.

See also: aparecer, volver a aparecer, reaparición. Translation: reaparece corresponds to “he/she/it reappears” in English.
