Repescar

Repescar
 

I know it means to give a second chance, but I am not sure how it is used.
I'm nearly sure you can say me repescaron y no me revocaron mi licencia.., but can you say repéscame por favor?:thinking:

Can you say me dieron una repesca?

You can say, "repéscame por favor" at your own risk..., because it is not used this way, at least in Spain. You'd say "dame una segunda oportunidad"... depending on what you want to say.

"Me dieron una repesca" I think it can be said without sounding odd.

Me dieron una repesca antes de los exámenes de septiembre (la repesca propiamente dicha) y aprobé el curso.

Si España no queda la primera de su grupo de la clasificación del mundial, tendrá que ir a la repesca. Por fortuna y buen hacer, ganaron a Francia, con lo que van líderes.

I think I once heard or read something like that. Now it sounds totally alien.
