How it's used

This term is primarily used to describe events or mistakes that repeat frequently, often carrying a sense of frustration or annoyance. It functions as an adverbial modifier and is distinct from the Mandarin usage of similar characters which might imply accumulation or fatigue. It is most commonly heard in contexts where someone is criticizing a recurring negative behavior.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the adjective 攰, which means tired. Learners often mistake the repetition of characters for a physical state rather than a frequency of occurrence.
