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 going to happen.

If the repetition has happened, i.e. it's a repetition in the past, 又 is used.

Subj. + 又 + Verb + 了

Notice that 了 is used as the action is complete.

  • 又 过年 了 ， 我们 又 长 了 一 岁 。Yòu guònián le, wǒmen yòu zhǎng le yī suì.It's Chinese New Year again, we have grown a year older again.
  • 又 该 我 请客 了 ？Yòu gāi wǒ qǐngkè le?Is it my turn to treat again?
