Definition
人次 (rén cì) is a classifier that counts total person-times — the number of visits or participations, including repeated attendance by the same person. It differs from just counting people (个/位) because it accumulates each instance, so one person attending three times counts as three 人次. Common in statistics, surveys, and reports.
