Whenever you want to express something like &quot;you did it again!&quot; in Chinese, you generally want to use 又 (yòu).

Normally, 又 is used to express an action that has already happened again for (at least) the second time. It doesn't have to be in quick succession; it happened before, and now it's happened again.

== <span id="Colloquial_Saying_.E5.8F.88.E6.9D.A5.E4.BA.86" class="mw-headline">Colloquial Saying 又来了</span> ==

又来了 fits the above pattern, but is also a little tricky because it expresses something that is still ongoing, and has already started as the speaker is speaking. Literally it says &quot;here it comes again,&quot; but it's more accurate to translate it as &quot;there it is again,&quot; or &quot;there [he] goes again.&quot; It indicates that the speaker is a bit annoyed that it happened ''again''.

== <span id="Other_Usage" class="mw-headline">Other Usage</span> ==

When it becomes clear that something is about to happen again, you can also use 又. It's almost as if it has already happened in your mind. In these cases, it's quite common for 又 to be immediately followed by 是 (shì), 要 (yào), 可以 (kěyǐ), 能 (néng), and you'll notice that there's often a [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/About_to_happen_with_%22le%22 了, indicating that something is about to happen].

Some examples:

* 今天 ''又'' '''要''' 加班 '''了''' ！<span class="pinyin">Jīntiān ''yòu'' '''yào''' jiābān '''le'''!</span><span class="trans">We're going to work late today. AGAIN!</span>
* 老板 请客 ，''又'' '''可以''' 吃 大餐 '''了''' ！<span class="pinyin">Lǎobǎn qǐngkè, ''yòu'' '''kěyǐ''' chī dàcān '''le'''!</span><span class="trans">The boss is going to treat us. We can have a big meal again!</span>
* 快 过年 了 ，我们 ''又'' '''能''' 拿 压岁钱 '''了''' ！<span class="pinyin">Kuài guònián le, wǒmen ''yòu'' '''néng''' ná yāsuìqián '''le'''!</span><span class="trans">CNY is coming soon. We can get our new year money again!</span>
