Definition
急急 is the reduplicated form of 急 (jí, urgent), used as an adverb meaning 'hurriedly' or 'in a great rush'. The repetition intensifies the sense of urgency and is common in literary or narrative Chinese to describe quick, pressing actions — often paired with verbs like 忙 (máng), 走 (zǒu), 去 (qù). It is not used as an adjective or predicate; it strictly modifies verbs.
