再次
How to Understand
再次 means 'again' or 'once more,' indicating repetition of an action or event. It emphasizes that something has happened before and is happening again, often with a sense of continuity or persistence.
The character 再 (zài) means 'again' or 'once more,' while 次 (cì) means 'time' or 'occasion.' Together, they form a compound that literally translates to 'another time,' which conveys the idea of repetition or reoccurrence.
再次 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese to express that an action or situation is repeated. It appears in contexts such as apologies, promises, or descriptions of events that happen multiple times. It is also used in phrases like 再次感谢 (zài cì gǎnxiè, 'thank you again') or 再次尝试 (zài cì chángshì, 'try again').
