    How it works

    This phrase combines the adverb 'また' (mata, again) with the polite volitional form of the verb '会う' (au, to meet). 'お会いしましょう' is formed by the honorific prefix 'お' (o-), the verb stem '会い' (ai) of '会う', and the volitional ending 'しましょう' (shimashō), derived from 'する' (suru, to do) in its polite volitional form. The 'お' prefix adds politeness towards the action of meeting (the other person).
