How it's used
This reduplicated adjective is used specifically to emphasize an extreme, burdensome weight. It carries a slightly more vivid and informal tone than simply saying 好重. It is almost exclusively used for physical objects that are difficult to lift or carry.
Examples
The backpack is really heavy, what did you put inside?
Related words
Common phrases
very heavy luggage
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe abstract concepts like heavy responsibilities or heavy traffic, as it is reserved for tangible physical weight.
