repítette

Repítete is the second-person singular imperative form of the Spanish verb phrase "repetirse" (to repeat oneself). It is used to give a direct instruction to someone you address informally to repeat something for themselves. The form combines the verb "repetir" with the reflexive pronoun "te," yielding "repítete," with an accent on the í to preserve the correct stress when the clitic is attached.

In practical use, repítete appears in contexts such as self-instruction, coaching, or practices that involve repetition for improvement. Examples include "Repítete esa frase en voz alta" (Repeat that phrase aloud to yourself) or "Repítete a ti mismo que puedes hacerlo" (Tell yourself that you can do it). The construction emphasizes the action being directed back to the speaker.

Morphology and related forms: repítete is the affirmative tú imperative with a reflexive pronoun. The corresponding non-reflexive imperative is "repite" (repeats the action to another object, not to the self). Other related forms include "me repito" (I repeat myself) in the present indicative and "te repites" (you repeat yourself) for tú in the present indicative.

Orthography and pronunciation: The acute accent on í in repítete is required to indicate the correct stress pattern when the reflexive pronoun "te" is attached. Without the accent, the pronunciation and meaning would be unclear or incorrect in standard Spanish.
