About this kanji

The kanji 又 primarily means "again" or "also." It is usually used as a conjunction or adverb rather than a standalone noun or verb. For example, the compound 又聞き (またぎき) refers to "hearsay" or information received secondhand, while 又は (または) means "or" in choices. Another example is 再又 (さいまた), which signifies "again" in a more formal context. You might hear 又楽しむ (またたのしむ), meaning "to enjoy again." This kanji is commonly used in everyday conversation, especially when discussing repeated actions or adding information.

Example sentences

• また会いましょう。
