reenviar
/reemˈbjaɾ/masculine
To resend in Spanish is reenviar.
The verb reenviar is used when you want to send something again, such as a message or an email.
Meaning: send again (verb)
What does it mean word for word?
The word is composed of the prefix re- (again) and the verb enviar (to send).
How does it change in a sentence?
The first-person singular present indicative form is reenvío (I resend / I am resending), and the first-person singular preterite form is reenvié (I resent). When resending an object like an email, the direct object pronoun lo (it) is attached to the end of the infinitive, resulting in reenviarlo. If the object being resent is a feminine noun, such as la carta (the letter), the suffix changes to la to form reenviarla.
