Usage Note
Rembobiner means to rewind a tape, cassette, or film back to the start. It is a compound of re- and bobiner (to wind onto a spool). In informal speech it is used figuratively — rembobine le film means 'let's go back over what happened', much like 'rewind' in English slang.
Examples
"Rembobine la cassette avant de la rendre."
Natural Translation
Rewind the tape before returning it.
