how do you say reoccur in spanish?

Question

how do you say reoccur in spanish?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure spanish is like english in that you can put "re-" in front of most verbs, eg rehacer or in this case reocurrir.

Ugh, no. There are adjectives like 'recurrente' (recurring), but 'reocurrir' does not exist. - bill1111, Dec 20, 2010

haha ok! I spent quite a lot of time in Nicaragua last year, and every time I ask a question like "can I use this word" the asnwer was invariably yes, if you want! It wasn't so good for my Castilian! - oliheylon, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 2

I found out that apparently in English "reoccur" isn't a word, it's actually "recur". So I was just looking it up wrong. The closest spanish word is "repetirse"

Answer 3

Here is a link to one solution.

occurir de nuevo

volver a occurir

Algunos cáncer de pulmo puede ocurrir de nuevo el plazo de cinco años.

Answer 4

It would depend pretty much on the context. It could be things like 'suceder de nuevo', 'suceder otra vez', 'volver a ocurrir', etc... for events, or it could be 'reaparecer' if you talk about a disease, or you could talk about 'un pensamiento recurrente' if you talk about a recurring thought.

If you want the translation for a particular sentence let me know.
