How to Say "reiterate" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “reiterate” is “repetir” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

The E > I Stem Change
In the present tense, the 'e' in the stem of 'repetir' changes to 'i' in all forms except for 'nosotros' and 'vosotros'. Remember: repito, but repetimos.
Preterite Change
Even the simple past (preterite) has a change! The third person singular and plural forms change the 'e' to 'i': repitió (he/she repeated) and repitieron (they repeated).
Forgetting the Stem Change
Mistake: “Yo repeto”
Correction: Yo repito. The verb needs the E changing to I, just like 'pedir' (to ask for).
