ripone

Ripone is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb riporre, meaning to put away, to store, or to place in its proper location. It is used to describe the action performed by a single subject in the present tense, as in "Lui ripone i documenti nell'armadietto."

Etymology and conjugation: Riporre derives from Latin reponere "to put back." It is a regular -ere verb with the stem ripon-, though its first-person singular present form is irregular: io ripongo. Present indicative forms are: io ripongo, tu riponi, lui/lei ripone, noi riponiamo, voi riponete, loro ripongono. The past participle is riposto, used with the auxiliary avere to form compound tenses (ho riposto, hai riposto, ha riposto, ecc.).

Usage: Ripone is commonly used in contexts involving organizing physical items, such as documents, tools, clothes, or books: "Lui ripone i documenti nell'armadio." After using an item, one might say "Dopo aver finito, ripone la pentola nel cassetto." In figurative language, it can convey postponement or shelving of matters by placing them aside, though more common phrasing for that sense includes migliorare o mettere da parte.
