How it's used
This term is the standard colloquial way to express every morning in daily speech. It carries a sense of routine or habit, often paired with the particle 都 to emphasize the consistency of the action. While it functions as an adverb of time, it is strictly spoken and would look out of place in formal written documents.
Examples
He gets up very early for work every morning.

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse this with 每日, which is more formal and can refer to any time of day. Using 朝朝 for a general daily occurrence that happens at night or in the afternoon is incorrect.
