Definition
重重地 is an adverb meaning 'heavily' (with force or great weight), formed by the state word 重重 (zhòngzhòng, 'heavy-heavy') plus the adverbial suffix 地. It is used to modify verbs describing physical actions like falling, hitting, or sitting. Note: the source pinyin 'chóng' suggests a different reading (chóngchóng de, meaning 'repeatedly'), but the most common usage corresponds to the zhòng pronunciation; this row likely needs a pinyin correction.
