Definition
屡屡 (lǚ lǚ) is a formal, literary adverb meaning 'repeatedly, again and again', used mainly in written Chinese. It is similar to 屡次 (lǚ cì) but 屡屡 often emphasizes the frequency of an action over time. Compared to the more colloquial 连连 (lián lián) or the deliberative 再三 (zài sān), 屡屡 carries a more detached, observational tone.
