How it's used
Expresses a sense of repetition or inevitability, often carrying a slightly weary or frustrated tone. It focuses on the recurrence of a situation rather than just adding information. When used to describe a person or event appearing again, it implies that the speaker has encountered this before and perhaps expected something different.
Examples
Why is it you again?
Today is another rainy day.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 亦都, which is a neutral way to say also. Use 又是 when you want to emphasize that something is happening again, especially if it feels like a recurring annoyance.
