recobriu

Recobriu is a Catalan verb form used as the second-person plural imperative of the verb recobrir, meaning to cover again or to coat anew. It functions as a directive addressed to multiple people, telling them to apply a new layer of material to a surface or object, or to envelop something once more. The form recobriu is common in instruction manuals, maintenance guidelines, and everyday speech among Catalan speakers.

The verb recobrir itself combines the prefix re- (again) with cobrir (to cover), yielding the sense of performing a covering action once more, reapplying a coat, or concealing again. The term can also describe natural processes where a surface becomes covered again, such as snow recoberint the landscape in winter, though such use is more often expressed with other verbs or adjectives depending on dialect.

Usage notes: Recobriu is used with direct objects (the thing being covered) and with phrases indicating where or how the covering occurs. It is primarily found in formal or written registers, such as manuals, but can appear in spoken instructions as well. Other forms of the same verb include the infinitive recobrir and the corresponding singular imperative recobreix (tu) or recobriu (vosaltres) for the plural.

Example: Recobriu la superfície amb una nova capa de pintura per protegir-la de la pluja.
