Usage notes
- For restarting after a pause, ripresa is more natural than ricominciamento; after interruption, also compare with ripartenza in modern informal use.
- In sports and shows, ripresa often means the second half or next round; don’t translate it literally as recovery there.
- Economic ripresa means rebound or uptick; for personal healing, guarigione or recupero is often more specific.
