Definition
大片大片 is a reduplicated adverbial phrase meaning 'in large pieces or swaths'. You use it to describe something that falls or appears in big, scattered chunks — most commonly snowflakes, leaves, or clouds. It comes from the measure word 大片 (a slice; a stretch) and emphasizes the quantity and size. For example, 大片大片的雪花 (large snowflakes). The pinyin is 'dà piàn dà piàn', not simply 'dà' as given in the source.
