start something again after stopping
To start something again after it has stopped for a time.
Patrón de uso:
to restart [something]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes mix up "restart" and "start again". In most everyday cases, they are interchangeable, but "restart" is often used for more planned or official situations (restart a project, restart a game), while "start again" can also sound more emotional or frustrated (I failed, so I have to start again).
Sinónimos
resume (Often means to continue from where you stopped, not necessarily to begin from the very beginning.)
|
recommence (More formal and less common in everyday speech.)
|
renew (Can suggest beginning again with new energy or for a new period; broader and more emotional in tone.)
Antónimos
stop (General opposite: to cause an activity or process to end.)
|
halt (Stronger, sometimes sudden stop, often used in official or serious contexts.)

reboot a device or system
To turn a computer or device off and then on again, or to stop and start a program again.
Patrón de uso:
to restart [a computer / device / program]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes say "open again the computer" or "on and off the computer" instead of "restart the computer". Another mistake is using "reboot" in very formal writing where "restart" or "restart the system" might sound more neutral.
Sinónimos
reboot (Very common in technical and everyday tech contexts; often used specifically for operating systems and servers.)
|
reset (Can mean returning a device or system to original settings, not just turning it off and on.)
Antónimos
shut down (Means to turn a computer or device off completely without starting it again immediately.)
|
sleep (Puts a device in a low-power state instead of fully stopping and starting it again.)

an act of starting again
The time when something starts again after it has stopped.
Patrón de uso:
a restart of [something]

Sinónimos
resumption (More formal; focuses on continuing something rather than beginning it again from the beginning.)
|
relaunch (Often used for products, businesses, or campaigns; suggests a planned, sometimes improved new start.)
Antónimos
shutdown (Refers to closing or stopping a system or operation, the opposite of starting it again.)
|

resumption of play in sports
In sports, the moment when the ball comes back into play after the game has stopped.
Patrón de uso:
a restart from [a position / a player]
Error frecuente:
Learners may think "restart" here always means the game begins again from the very beginning. In sports, a "restart" is usually just the moment the ball comes back into play after a short stop, not a new full game.
Sinónimos
kick-off (Specific type of restart in sports like football/soccer or rugby, not a general term for all restarts.)
Antónimos
stoppage (The period when play is stopped, before the restart.)
Colocaciones
a quick restart
