remettez

Remettez is the second-person plural present indicative form of the French verb remettre, and it can also serve as the imperative plural form used to command several people to perform the action. It corresponds to the English "you put back" or "put back" when addressing more than one person.

Remettre comes from the prefix re- meaning back or again and mettre meaning to put, from Latin mittere. The verb has a broad set of senses including placing something back to its original position, reinstating or restoring, returning something to a previous state, and deferring a plan or decision. In everyday usage, remettez is most commonly heard when telling a group to return an object to its place or to perform the action again.

Common usages include several core meanings:

- Put back: Vous remettez le livre sur l'étagère.

- Restore or reinstall: Vous remettez le système en état de marche.

- Postpone: Ils remettent le rendez-vous à demain; elle veut remettre la décision à plus tard.

- Put someone in their place: Remettre quelqu'un à sa place est une expression idiomatique distincte qui peut apparaître dans des discussions sur le ton et l'autorité.

Pronunciation is roughly /ʁə.mɛ.te/; the final -z is silent in standard French. Related forms include remettre (the infinitive), se remettre (to recover or to regain composure), and several fixed expressions such as remettre à plus tard and remettre à zéro.
