They are so well shaped and easy to remember. They are so musical that they can make your Chinese ex<em><\/em>pressions sound more rhyming and interesting.<\/p>\n<p>  Then what are they? I wanna give them a cute name of &ldquo;double double &rdquo; on this Learn Mandarin o<em><\/em>nline blog just like your everyday coffee or hamburger order :-). That is because they are a pair of doubled characters plus another pair of doubled characters, that&rsquo;s why they are &ldquo;double double &ldquo;.<\/p>\n<p>  You might have popped out a few such words in your mind by now, if you haven&rsquo;t, no worries, I&rsquo;ll show you soon :<\/p>\n<p>  f\u0113n f\u0113n h&eacute; h&eacute;<\/p>\n<p>  \u5206\u5206\u5408\u5408 (on again off again)<\/p>\n<p>  In this very first example, \u5206 and \u5408 are two opposite characters. \u5206 means &ldquo;depart&rdquo; and \u5408 means &ldquo;reunite&rdquo;. If we echo each of them and combine into a new word \u5206\u5206\u5408\u5408, it refers to the repetitive occurrence of the phenomena &ndash; departure and reuniting. Usually it refers to the relatio<em><\/em>nship between two lovers, or a couple, or a family. Let&rsquo;s have a look at following sentence then you&rsquo;ll get a feel of it :<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; r&eacute;nsh\u0113ng z\u01d2ngsh&igrave; mi\u01cenb&ugrave;li\u01ceo f\u0113n f\u0113n h&eacute; h&eacute;\u3002<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u4eba\u751f\u603b\u662f\u514d\u4e0d\u4e86\u5206\u5206\u5408\u5408\u3002<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Life is full of departures and reunitings.<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; t\u0101men li\u01ce y\u01d0j\u012bng f\u0113n f\u0113n h&eacute; h&eacute; h\u011bn du\u014dc&igrave; le\u3002<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u4ed6\u4eec\u4fe9\u5df2\u7ecf\u5206\u5206\u5408\u5408\u5f88\u591a\u6b21\u4e86\u3002<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They&rsquo;ve been on again off again for so many times.<\/p>\n<p>  There are quite a few Chinese words that echo two opposite characters to describe the repetition of a certain phenomena. Aside from \u5206\u5206\u5408\u5408, we also know the following:<\/p>\n<p>  zh\u0113n zh\u0113n ji\u01ce ji\u01ce<\/p>\n<p>  \u771f\u771f\u5047\u5047 (the true and the faking)<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  du\u014d du\u014d sh\u01ceo sh\u01ceo<\/p>\n<p>  \u591a\u591a\u5c11\u5c11 (more or less)<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  At the same time, similar characters can also be echoed into &ldquo;double double&rdquo;. For example:<\/p>\n<p>  du\u01d2 du\u01d2 sh\u01cen sh\u01cen <\/p>\n<p>  \u8eb2\u8eb2\u95ea\u95ea (evasive)<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  ch&aacute;ng ch&aacute;ng ji\u01d4 ji\u01d4<\/p>\n<p>  \u957f\u957f\u4e45\u4e45 (long and stable)<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  q&iacute; q&iacute; gu&agrave;i gu&agrave;i<\/p>\n<p>  \u5947\u5947\u602a\u602a (weird)<\/p>\n<p>  &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  Do you know any &ldquo;double double&rdquo; Chinese words in your vocabulary?
