AI Study Notes for 再说
Learners often confuse 再说 with just 说, which means 'to say.' Remember that 再说 implies a continuation or addition to what's already been said. It is more informal and should be avoided in very formal writing.
While 再说 is not explicitly listed in HSK, it can be useful for learners at HSK 3 and above, as it encourages the use of conjunctions and phrases for smooth conversation. Focus on using it in context to connect thoughts or ideas.
A frequent mistake is using 再说 without context, leading to confusion. For example, saying '我再说' (I say again) without a preceding statement makes it unclear. Instead, provide context: '我觉得这个不对，再说我们没有时间' (I think this is wrong, moreover we do not have time).
