ricominciamo

Ricominciamo is the first-person plural present indicative of ricominciare, the Italian verb meaning to start again or to begin anew. As a conjugated form, ricominciamo translates to "we start again" and is commonly used as an exhortation equivalent to "let's begin again" or "we'll restart." The prefix ri- indicates repetition or restart, combined with cominciare, meaning "to begin."

In everyday language, ricominciamo is used to motivate a course of action after a setback or to signal a shift to a new phase—e.g., after a failure, after a crisis, or at the start of a new project. It can appear in questions or imperatives: "Ricominciamo?" or "Ricominciamo da capo" (shall we start over? / let's start from scratch). The phrase is often found in speeches, self-help literature, and media as a rallying call to persevere and reorganize efforts.

Given its broad usage, ricominciamo carries a constructive tone without negating past difficulties, and it can be paired with nouns to specify the domain of restart (work, life, relationships, politics). The expression is part of a range of Italian phrases for restarting or resuming activities, alongside "cominciamo di nuovo" and "riprendiamo da dove eravamo rimasti."
