Slow pronunciation
Normal pronunciation
The exact origin is mysterious, but it means “To do it again“.
Probably because preparing the table to have dinner is something that we have to do again and again, a never ending repetition of the same routine common among so many people.
You can use it as an affirmation or as a question whenever you need to say “I did it again” (J’ai remis le couvert) or “Do you want to do it again?” (Tu veux remettre le couvert ?) for example.
It works with all situations, but it especially fits one scenario as you will see below…
It’s well known for being used to say “We had sex again” (On a remis le couvert). In case that’s what you want, you can ask “On remet le couvert ?” (Let’s do it again?)
Have fun.
