Usage Note
Ricominciare is the prefixed form of cominciare with ri- (re-), meaning 'to begin again'. It can be transitive (ricominciare il lavoro) or intransitive with essere or avere depending on usage context — intransitive uses are common with avere: ha ricominciato a piovere ('it started raining again'). The prefix ri- is productive in Italian for repeating actions.
