How it's used

Originally a literary reference to a woman remarrying, this idiom is now frequently used in sports or casual contexts to describe someone achieving the same feat twice. It carries a slightly playful or dramatic tone, often implying that the repetition is impressive or noteworthy. It is not typically used for mundane, repetitive daily chores.

Common phrases

sing4成gung1功mui4梅hoi1開ji6二dou6度

successfully achieve the same feat twice

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe simple, boring repetition, as it implies a sense of achievement or a significant event. It is also not suitable for formal business reports where a more neutral term like 再度 is preferred.
