Learn Hardcore Chinese: wǒmen míngtiān zài ānpái yíxià ba.

With a future time like 明天, 再 primarily means “then/later (at that time)”, i.e., postponing the action.
If there was a previous attempt or arrangement, 再 can also imply “again (at a later time)”.
Compare:
- 现在太晚了，明天再说。= let’s talk later (tomorrow), not necessarily “again.”
- 上次没成功，明天再试。= let’s try again tomorrow (repetition is clear).

What does the sentence-final particle 吧 do here?

吧 softens the tone and turns the statement into a suggestion or proposal (similar to “let’s …”).
Without 吧, it sounds more like a plain statement/plan; with 吧, it invites agreement.
It can also reduce forcefulness in requests and make them more collaborative.

What is the function of 一下 after the verb?

一下 after a verb means “do it briefly/for a bit” and often softens the action, making it sound more casual/polite.
Here, 安排一下 suggests a quick/low-pressure arranging (or simply softens the request).
Dropping 一下 makes it a little more direct: 我们明天再安排吧.

Why is the word order “明天再安排” and not something like “再明天安排”?

Typical order is: Subject + Time + (Modal/Aspect) Adverbs + Verb + (Object) + Particle.
So: 我们 + 明天 + 再 + 安排 + 一下 + 吧.
再 is an adverb that must go directly before the verb it modifies; 明天 is the time word and usually comes before adverbs like 再.

Is there an object missing after 安排?

Yes, the object is understood from context (e.g., the meeting, the schedule, that matter).
Chinese often omits objects when they’re obvious. If you want to specify: 明天再安排一下会议/时间/日程吧.

Is using 我们 the normal way to say “let’s” in Chinese?

Yes. 我们 + (verb) + 吧 is a common way to propose a joint action, functioning like “let’s …”.
It sounds inclusive and collaborative.

Could I use 咱们 instead of 我们?

咱们 explicitly includes the listener (“we including you”) and is common in northern speech.
我们 can be inclusive or exclusive, but with 吧 it’s typically understood as inclusive.
So both work: 我们/咱们明天再安排一下吧. 咱们 is a bit more colloquial/regional.

Can I omit 一下 or 吧? How does that change the tone?

Omit 一下: 我们明天再安排吧 → slightly more direct, still a suggestion because of 吧.
Omit 吧: 我们明天再安排一下 → sounds like a plan/decision rather than a suggestion.
Omit both: 我们明天再安排 → quite direct/neutral statement of intent, not a suggestion.

Does 再安排 here mean “reschedule,” or just “arrange (then)”?

It can mean either, depending on context.
- If something was already arranged, 再安排 often implies rescheduling or arranging again.
- If nothing has been arranged yet, it can simply mean arrange it then/later.
To clearly say “reschedule,” you can use 重新安排 or 改期.

Can I use 又 instead of 再?

Generally no for future-positive actions. 又 is mainly for repeated actions in the past or for unexpected repetition, and often pairs with negative future (e.g., 又不会…).
For “do it again/later” in the future, use 再. So say: 明天再安排, not 明天又安排 (which would sound odd here).

What’s the difference between 再 and 然后?

再 can mean “then/later (at a later time)” or “again” and typically goes before the verb.
然后 means “and then/after that” and connects sequences of actions: 先A，然后B.
Both can express sequence, but 再 is tightly bound to the verb and often used for postponement/suggestion: 现在不急，明天再安排吧.

Why is 一下 pronounced yíxià and not yīxià?

一 undergoes tone sandhi:
- Before a 4th-tone syllable (like 下 xià), 一 becomes yí (2nd tone): yíxià.
- Before 1st/2nd/3rd tones, 一 is usually yì (4th tone).
- When said alone or emphasized, it’s yī (1st tone).
吧 is in a neutral tone here.

Is 安排一下 a polite request formula in workplaces?

Can I say 安排安排 instead of 安排一下?

Yes, verb reduplication (安排安排) also softens the tone and can suggest a brief/low-effort action.
It’s a bit more casual than 安排一下. Both are fine in informal contexts: 我们明天再安排安排吧.

Is “安排下” acceptable?

You may see 安排下 in chats or informal corporate messages (especially online), but standard/widely taught Mandarin prefers 安排一下.
For learners, stick to 一下 for clarity and correctness.
