state again to confirm
to say again in a clear way that something is still true or that you still support it
Schemat użycia:
to reaffirm [something] / to reaffirm [someone's] [commitment/support/belief]
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes say *"reaffirm again"*, which is redundant because *re-* already means *again*. Another mistake is using *reaffirm* in very casual speech where *say again* or *make sure* would sound more natural.
Synonimy
restate (focuses on saying something again, without always implying strong support or emotion.)
|
reassert (stronger and more forceful; suggests defending a position firmly.)
|
confirm (more general and neutral; does not always include the idea of saying it again in words.)
Antonimy
withdraw (to take back a statement or offer instead of confirming it again.)
|
deny (to say that something is not true, which opposes the idea of confirming it again as true.)
