reserve (military)

Usage Note

Reemplazo means a substitution or the person/thing doing the substituting. In a military context it refers to a conscript class or reserve draft. The double e in the spelling is standard and should not be reduced to a single e (remplazo exists but is less common in formal writing). The verb form is reemplazar, which follows the z → c spelling change before -e: reemplacé.

Examples

"Necesitamos un reemplazo para el turno de noche."

Natural Translation

We need a replacement for the night shift.
