In German
wieder
Meaning: again
Formal or informal? “Wieder” means again. For a formal request to repeat something, use “noch einmal” (once more) or “wiederholen”.
Example sentences
Bitte komm wieder!
Please come again!
Ich fahre im Sommer wieder nach Berlin.
I'm going to Berlin again in the summer.
Er ist schon wieder zu spät.
He is late again.
Grammar note
“Wieder” is an adverb and doesn't change. In “schon wieder” it means “yet again”, which often expresses annoyance.
Common mistake
Don't confuse “wieder” (again) with “wider” (against). “Wider” is a preposition, and it looks similar but means something different.
