Questions & Answers about Remena la baralla.

What form is remena?

Remena is the affirmative imperative for tu from the verb remenar. In other words, it is the form you use to tell one person informally to do something: Remena la baralla.

A useful pattern to notice is that for many -ar verbs, the tu imperative looks the same as the ell/ella present form: ell/ella remena = he/she shuffles / stirs remena! = shuffle! / stir!

The negative command is different: No remenis la baralla = Don’t shuffle the deck.

Could Remena la baralla also mean He/She shuffles the deck?

Yes. On its own, remena can be either:

• tu imperative: Shuffle the deck
• ell/ella/vostè present: He/She shuffles the deck or You shuffle the deck in the formal vostè sense

Context usually makes it clear. If this appears as an instruction in a game, recipe, or exercise, it will normally be understood as a command.
