The Chinese word 又 is a versatile character that has several meanings depending on the context in which it is used. One of its main meanings is “again” or “once more”, which is often used in conjunction with verbs to indicate repetition. For example, 又看一遍 means “read/watch it again”. It can also mean “both” or “and”, as in 又大又圆, which means “big and round”.
