Usage tips
Word formation
'Nochmals' is a formal variant formed from 'noch' and 'mal' with an adverbial '-s' at the end, similar to 'abends' (in the evenings) or 'morgens' (in the mornings).
EXAMPLE
Ich möchte mich nochmals für die Einladung bedanken.
I would like to thank you again for the invitation.
Sentence position
As an adverb, 'nochmals' can stand at the beginning of the sentence (position 1), which reverses the word order (verb in position 2). But it can also stand in the middle of the sentence.
EXAMPLE
Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Mühe.
Once again, many thanks for your effort.
Use in context
In the meaning 'zusätzlich' (additionally), 'nochmals' is often used in formal communication such as speeches or letters to reinforce or summarize a point.
EXAMPLE
Abschließend möchte ich nochmals betonen, dass wir mit der Entwicklung sehr zufrieden sind.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize once again that we are very satisfied with the development.
