Hi,

Would you repeat that AGAIN?


"repeat" carries a meaning of "RE"

I think "again" is redundant.

Am I right?

Thanks

You're correct- repeat again is redundant, but fairly common. It does make sense to say it if you have asked someone to repeat something once, and you still didn't get it, so you ask them to repeat it again.

Just an emphasizer device.
