How it's used

Focuses on the repetitive and often hurried nature of an action, implying a sense of density or lack of gaps between occurrences. It is particularly common when describing social interactions or small, repeated tasks that happen in quick succession. Unlike more formal adverbs, it carries a rhythmic, almost onomatopoeic quality that emphasizes the frequency of the activity.

Common phrases

to whisper or chat frequently

mat6密mat6密zou6做

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the adjective 密, which means dense or tight. While 密密 describes the frequency of an action, 密 is used for physical proximity or lack of space, such as 密碼 for password or 密友 for close friend.
