Definition
晕晕乎乎 is an AABB‑pattern reduplicated adjective describing a state of dizziness, confusion, or being spaced out. It can come from physical causes (motion sickness, alcohol, illness) or mental fogginess (lack of sleep, overwhelming information). Use it to describe how you feel or how someone appears — it’s informal and vivid, similar to 'in a daze' or 'muddle-headed' in English.
