reinterpretan

reinterpretan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb reinterpretar. The verb means to interpret again or to reinterpret, often in the sense of reexamining a text, data, or phenomenon. It is formed with the prefix re- and the verb stem interpretar, and it follows the regular conjugation pattern of -ar verbs.

Conjugation and form details: present indicative forms include yo reinterpret o, tú reinterpret as, él/ella/Ud reinterpreta, nosotros reinterpretamos, vosotros reinterpretáis, ellos reinterpretan. The word is used when multiple subjects are reinterpreting something, or when describing a collective action of reanalysis or reunderstanding.

Usage: reinterpretan is commonly found in academic analysis, journalism, literary criticism, and commentary, where researchers, critics, or commentators reframe or provide a new interpretation of concepts, texts, events, or findings. It contrasts with interpretar, which can simply mean to interpret in the ordinary sense, whereas reinterpretar emphasizes revising or reinterpreting a prior interpretation.

Examples:

- Los críticos reinterpretan la obra de los años sesenta a la luz de teorías contemporáneas. (The critics reinterpret the work from the sixties in light of contemporary theories.)

- Las cifras presentadas fueron reinterpretadas por el comité para reflejar tendencias diferentes. (The figures were reinterpretated by the committee to reflect different trends.)
