How it's used

Reduplication of the measure word 件 emphasizes that every single item in a group shares a specific quality or status. It functions as a quantifier meaning every single one, often carrying a sense of surprise or emphasis on the uniformity of the items. It is strictly used for countable objects that take the measure word 件, such as clothing or furniture.

Common mistake

Do not use this with uncountable nouns or objects that require different measure words, such as people or books. It is strictly for items that would normally be counted with 件.
