#REDIRECT [[Expressing "again" in the past with "you"]]
 
 
 
 
Whenever you want to express something like "you did it again!" in Chinese, you may want to use 又.
 
 
 
== Structure ==
 
 
 
There are two words for "again" in Chinese. This depends on whether the repetition ''has'' happened, or whether it's [[Again in the future with "zai"|''going to'' happen]].
 
 
 
If the repetition has happened, i.e. it's a repetition in the past, 又 is used.
 
 
 
<div class="jiegou">
 
 
 
Subject + 又 + Verb + 了
 
 
 
</div>
 
 
 
Notice that 了 is used as the action is complete.
 
 
 
== Examples ==
 
 
 
<div class="liju">
 
 
 
* 你 <em>又</em> 迟到 了。<span class="trans">You came late again.</span>
 
* 他 <em>又</em> 喝醉 了, 他 的 肝 怎么 受 得 了 呢?<span class="trans">He's drinking beer again. How does his stomach handle it?</span>
 
* 苹果十五块钱一斤?你 <em>又</em> 被 骗 了,我 已经 跟 你 说 过 买菜 的 时候 一定 要 讲价!<span class="trans">Fifteen kuai per jin for apples? You've been tricked again. I've already told you:when you're buying food, you need to bargain.</span>
 
 
 
</div>
