repetís

Repetís is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb repetir in the voseo variety of Spanish, primarily used in the Río de la Plata region (notably Argentina and Uruguay). It means you repeat and is used when addressing someone informally with the pronoun vos instead of tú.

In this dialect, vos forms have distinct endings. For most -ir verbs, the present tense ends in -ís, giving repetís. The stress falls on the last syllable, which is indicated by the written accent: repetís. This form is used instead of the standard tú form repites.

Examples: ¿Qué repetís? (What are you repeating?), Repetís esa palabra. For negative commands, vos typically say no repetás. The affirmative imperative for vos is repetí, while the corresponding tú form would be repite. The exception is that imperatives can vary regionally, but repetí is widely understood in voseo contexts.

Relation to other forms: Repetís contrasts with the standard Spanish tú form (repetís versus repites); in formal writing or speech, speakers may switch to usted repite or use ustedes repiten depending on formality and region. The use of repetís is a hallmark of voseo, a regional variant of second-person address still common in Argentina and Uruguay.

Origin and scope: Repetís derives from the verb repetir, with voseo reflecting historical second-person forms that persist in parts of the Spanish-speaking world. In everyday use, repetís signals familiarity and local speech patterns characteristic of Rioplatense Spanish.
