Definition
积累 (jī lěi) means to accumulate gradually over time, used for abstract things like experience, knowledge, or money. It is more general than 积攒 (jī zǎn), which specifically means to save up bit by bit (e.g., money or items), and less formal than 累积 (lěi jī), which is used in written/formal contexts for cumulative totals.
