Definition
娇滴滴 describes a way of speaking or behaving that is deliberately sweet, soft, and coquettish — often associated with a feminine, slightly exaggerated delicacy. The tone can be affectionate (playful charm) or critical (feigned innocence). You can use it for someone's voice, manner, or appearance, but it almost always implies a conscious performance of sweetness.
