remitir
When you want to say "to send" or "to forward" something in Spanish, the verb you're looking for is remitir. It's a useful verb that can apply to sending documents, messages, or even people to a certain place. For instance, if you're talking about sending an email, you could use remitir un correo electrónico.
You might also hear it in the context of referring someone, like a doctor referring a patient to a specialist. So, if a doctor remite a un paciente a un especialista, it means they are sending or referring that patient. It's a practical word to add to your vocabulary for various sending and forwarding situations.
When you're dealing with official documents, emails, or anything that needs to be sent or forwarded, remitir is the verb you'll want to use. It's more formal than just saying "enviar" (to send).
Think of it as sending something along to another person or place, often with the implication of official communication or delivery. For example, a company might "remitir" a report to another department, or you might "remitir" payment for a bill. It implies a sense of passing something on or referring it to someone else.

§ What Does "Remitir" Mean?
The Spanish verb "remitir" is super useful, especially when you need to talk about sending or forwarding things. It's one of those words that has a pretty direct translation into English, but understanding its common uses will make you sound a lot more natural when speaking Spanish.
- DEFINITION
- To send, to forward. Think of it as the action of dispatching something from one place to another, or from one person to another.
You'll hear and use "remitir" in a few key situations. It's often about documents, information, or even people being sent to a specific place or person for a specific purpose.
§ When to Use "Remitir"
Let's break down the common scenarios where "remitir" is the right word. It's all about context, so pay attention to these examples.
- Sending Documents or Information: This is probably the most frequent use. If you're sending an email, a report, a letter, or any kind of information to someone, "remitir" fits perfectly.
Por favor, ¿podrías remitir el informe a mi colega? (Please, could you send the report to my colleague?)
He remitido los documentos que solicitaste. (I have sent the documents you requested.)
- Referring or Directing to a Source: You can also use "remitir" when you're directing someone's attention to something else, like a previous conversation, a specific chapter in a book, or another person.
Para más detalles, te remito al capítulo cinco. (For more details, I refer you to chapter five.)
El doctor me remitió a un especialista. (The doctor referred me to a specialist.)
- Forwarding Mail or Messages: Just like in English, if you're forwarding an email or a physical letter, "remitir" is the word.
¿Puedes remitir este correo a todo el equipo? (Can you forward this email to the whole team?)
Understanding this subtle difference will help you choose the right verb. If you're just sending a casual text message to a friend, "enviar" is probably better. But if you're sending an invoice, a medical record, or a formal referral, "remitir" is the stronger choice.

Easily Confused
'Enviar' is often confused with 'remitir' because both mean 'to send.'
'Enviar' is a general term for sending anything. 'Remitir' implies sending something back, or forwarding it, often with a more formal connotation.
Voy a enviar una carta. (I am going to send a letter.)
Like 'enviar', 'mandar' also means 'to send' and can be used interchangeably in many contexts, leading to confusion with 'remitir'.
'Mandar' is another general term for sending. It can also mean 'to order' or 'to command', which 'remitir' does not.

While not directly meaning 'to send', 'dirigir' means 'to direct' or 'to address', which can be confused when talking about sending mail or information to a specific destination.
'Dirigir' focuses on the direction or recipient, not the act of sending itself. 'Remitir' is the action of dispatching.
Quiero dirigir esta carta a la gerencia. (I want to address this letter to management.)
'Entregar' means 'to deliver', which is the end result of sending something. This can be confused with 'remitir' if the nuance of 'sending' versus 'delivering' is not clear.

El cartero va a entregar el paquete. (The mailman is going to deliver the package.)
'Reenviar' explicitly means 'to resend' or 'to forward again', which is very close to one of the meanings of 'remitir'.
