⚠️ The trap

'Riprendere' means to resume, pick up again, or to film/shoot video. 'Reprimand' in Italian is 'rimproverare' (which does also sound like riprendere to beginners). Very different meanings.

To say "to express disapproval formally" in Italian:

rimproverare (for to reprimand)

"riprendere" in English means:

to resume; to pick up again; to film/record

Example

"La riunione riprende dopo il pranzo."

"The meeting resumes after lunch."
