Again: 又 or 再?

Your upstairs neighbours have had loud parties late at night again this week. Write a polite but firm note (50–120 characters) to put under their door: what has happened again, how it affects you, and what you'd like them not to do again.

  • Use 又 for something that has happened again
  • Use 再 (不要再…) for what you don't want to happen again
  • Use 还 or 一直 for something still going on
  • Keep a polite tone: 您好, 请, 谢谢

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
