Definición
To do something again, especially an exam, a photo, or to take something back that was lost or taken.
Uso & Matices
Commonly used for exams ('retake a test'), photos or videos ('retake a picture/scene'), and less often for getting something back. More formal in academic contexts. Not the same as 'repeat'—'retake' usually means doing the exact thing again, often after not succeeding.
