reiteriamo

Reiteriamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb reiterare, meaning to reiterate or to repeat something previously stated. The term is used to emphasize that a statement, instruction, or condition is being repeated or underscored, often for emphasis, clarification, or formal insistence. It appears in both spoken and written Italian, with a stronger affinity for formal or official registers.

Etymology and form: reiterare derives from the Latin iterare, meaning to repeat, with the productive prefix re- indicating repetition. Reiteriamo, as the 1st person plural form, corresponds to “we reiterate.” Related forms include reiterato (reiterated) and reiterazione (reiteration). The verb shares its semantic field with ripetere (to repeat), though reiterare often connotes a deliberate restatement to ensure understanding or to stress a point.

Usage and nuance: Reiteriamo is commonly found in press releases, official statements, academic writing, and policy documents. It signals that the speaker or institution is returning to a point of concern, reaffirming a position, or instructing audiences to pay heed to a previously issued directive. In everyday language, reiterare is less frequent because ripetere more readily conveys simple repetition, while reiterare carries a formal connotation of emphasis or insistence.

See also: reiterazione (reiteration), reiterato (reiterated), ripetizione (repetition). The choice between reiterare and ripetere depends on tone, formality, and the desired emphasis.
