Usage Note

Riaffermare is a compound of the prefix ri- (again) + affermare (to affirm). It follows the regular -are conjugation. In Italian, verbs with ri- systematically express repetition, so riaffermare means to state or assert something again, often with renewed force. It uses avere as its auxiliary in compound tenses.

Examples

"Il governo ha riaffermato il suo impegno."

Natural Translation
