量词重叠 (measure word reduplication)

• 拼音: gè gè
• 结构: Subject + Measure Word + Measure Word + (都) + Predicate

含义

Reduplicating a measure word (e.g., 个个, 天天, 次次) expresses the meaning of 'every' or 'each.' This pattern emphasizes that the statement applies to every single instance without exception.

Measure word reduplication creates a stronger emphasis on universality than simply using 每 (měi, 'every'). While 每个人都很开心 and 人人都很开心 both mean 'everyone is happy,' the reduplicated form carries a more emphatic or expressive tone. Common reduplicated measure words include 个个 (every one), 天天 (every day), 次次 (every time), 条条 (every strip/item), and 件件 (every piece). This pattern is very common in spoken Chinese and adds a rhythmic quality to speech. Note that not all measure words can be reduplicated — it works best with high-frequency measure words.
