Spanish term or phrase: reanudar
The third in a list of techniques for Active listening (paraphrasing, verbalizing their thoughts and emotions, and echoing).

"Eco: reanudar las palabras del interlocutor para conseguir su completa manifestación"

Unsure if it means using the interlocutor's own words, or 'resuming' them, taking up and echoing his last spoken words, if the interlocutor pauses in thought, to get him to explain himself fully (su completa manfiestacion).

Opinions?

Thanks,

Peter

repeat
Explanation:
As others have mentioned, I think 'take up' would work, but maybe another option is 'repeat'. As in, you echo or repeat the last few words someone said so they finish the thought. Like 'so, you were saying XXX...'
Maybe 'use' would even work.

- Echo: repeat the speaker's words...
- Echo: use the speaker's words...

pick up on


Explanation:
Neilmac has already mentioned take up and echo - the latter prefacing the quote asked about, so I will leave those permutations outm of my own idiomatic answer.

Example sentence(s):
  • [pick up on something] to talk in more detail about something that someone has mentioned I’d just like to pick up on a couple of points that you made. Synonyms and related words To discuss something:discuss, consider, talk...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Juan. Since "echo" is in the title of this item, I like to change the next word, so I've gone with "repeat". Appreciate your submission, though! It's a valid option.
