Definition
仔仔细细 is the reduplicated form of 仔细 (zǐxì, 'careful'), used as an adverb or adjective to emphasize thoroughness and attention to detail. It often appears before verbs with 地 (de) as an adverbial modifier, meaning 'very carefully' or 'meticulously'. This four-character reduplication pattern intensifies the original adjective.
