Definition
熟稔 is a formal, literary verb meaning 'to know someone or something very well.' It appears mostly in written Chinese — biographies, essays, formal introductions — and carries a stronger, more intimate sense of familiarity than everyday words like 认识 or 了解. You'd use it to describe someone who deeply understands a person, field, or tradition after long exposure.
