Usage Note

Rispedire is a third-conjugation -ire verb that takes the -isc- infix (rispedisco, rispedisci). It takes avere in compound tenses. It implies returning a parcel or letter, slightly more formal than rimandare; rispedire al mittente (to return to sender) is a fixed phrase also used figuratively to reject an idea.

Examples

"Ho rispedito il pacco al mittente."
