How it's used
Unlike the Mandarin equivalent, Cantonese speakers often prefer using 晚晚 to express the same meaning in casual conversation. While 每晚 is perfectly acceptable and common, 晚晚 carries a slightly more natural and rhythmic feel in spoken sentences. It is frequently paired with the particle 都 to emphasize the consistency of the action.
Examples
What time do you go to sleep every night?
