Definition
光闪闪 is a vivid ABB-format adjective (状态词) meaning 'glittering' or 'sparkling'. It describes something that shines or glistens with bright, often intermittent light — like diamonds, stars, or polished metal. It can be used as a predicate (after 的) or as a stative complement. The doubling of 闪 intensifies the visual effect, suggesting a lively, eye-catching shimmer rather than a steady glow.
