[Tip] Replay vs Reply


Replay means to play again; reproduce (a recording) on a recorder; play (a melody) again; or repeat a game against the same opponent.

Reply is a verb that means to react verbally or show a response or a reaction to something. As a noun, it means A statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation; the speech act of continuing a conversational exchange.


Examples:

The lawyers replayed the conversation to show that their client was innocent.

The result was a draw, so both teams will have to replay the game.

She didn't want to reply.

He wrote replies to several of his critics.
