Can someone confirm this pronunciation? I am wondering if this is right as well.
is 又 normal for japanese people to write? like is saying 又来週or 又ねー weird? (as opposed to just saying また)
In my rather limited experience, which is mostly made up of LINE conversations with my mother (a native Japanese speaker), we use また more than 又. I would definitely use the kanji if it were either in a place name, or I was speaking about parts of kanji (奴 has 女 and 又), but not in this informal greeting.
alright, thanks. That, along with the japanese gov. trying to cut down on kanji in general, i'm assuming kana is preferred if you see sentences in kana more.
I wouldn't use Duo as a rule of thumb for whether something is more frequently written in kana or kanji since the developers and contributors are constantly working on the course and adding things. However, some dictionaries like Jisho say how a word is typically written in its entry. For example, it confirms that また is usually written in kana alone.
Dumb but this is one of the first phrases I learned because it was Kikumaru Eiji's catchphrase in Prince of Tennis. ”残念無念、又来週～” zannen munen mata raishuu~
来週 - らいしゅう 来 means next 週 means week Therefore: 今週 - こんしゅう -this week 先週 - せんしゅう - last week

See you again next week. また来週（らいしゅう）会（あ）いましょう
In English you can't miss out the verb, but you can do so in Japanese
こんにちは literally means "This day [subject marker]," but is used as a greeting. Literal meanings don't often match the usage in both languages, so it's better to try to translate to the context or in this case, the most likely context.
I put in "see you again next week" and got an incorrect. Am I wrong, or is Duolingo?
"See you again next week." Might be closer to, "それじゃまた,来週." Or the other way around.

again means また, so it shoukld be because of the "see you". No, I think See you "again next week" should be totally fine. The last three words are the literal translation.

Any difference between また来週 and 来週また? Is one form preferred over the other, or more colloquial? Is there any difference in the meaning?
It's like the difference between "Again, next week." Or "Next week, again."
Wow I haven't laughed that hard in a while, thanks for sharing that video XD Hearing the random responses AI comes up with (e.g. Eviebot videos as well) always sets me off for some reason lol
Is it just me? I use a Huawei phone for Duolingo, and recently the drop down info bubbles won't go away. This means that you can't do anything, especially answer the question! Because the bubble covers everything.
What's また? A verb or what? And I noticed it's similar to eye (mata) in Indonesian and Filipino, any links?
It's an adverb meaning "again", "also" or "still"
There is a verb 瞬くmatataku that means to blink/wink. The similarity is probably just coincidence though it is interesting :)
"See you in a week" sounds like a time span, like you will see the person exactly 7 days from now.
一週間後 - "after one week"
"See you next week" doesn't have to be exactly 7 days between seeing someone, it's just sometime within the next week.
You could see them on Friday and then again on Monday and still be correct when saying 'see you next week'
来週 - "next week, the coming week"
What is the difference between mata and ai, from what I'm seeing so far both seem to mean meet or see.
会う・あう is the verb "to meet"
また is an adverb meaning "again"
会いましょう - "Let's meet"
また会いましょう - "Let's meet again"
また来週 is more literally "Again next week" with the verb implied
Typed in ”また来週” without the word bank was marked as incorrect. January 23, 2021.
There is currently a bug that isn't allowing answers input with an IME to be accepted site-wide. Staff are aware of the problem and have been looking into it.
As of this morning typed answers seem to be working fine for me again, so if they still aren't yet for you they should be soon. :)
