频频 (pín pín) — repeatedly, frequently

Definition

频频 (pín pín) means 'repeatedly, frequently' and is used in formal/journalistic contexts for events happening many times within a short period. It contrasts with 连连 (lián lián) 'in succession' and the more literary 屡屡 (lǚ lǚ). Unlike 一再/再三 (yī zài/zài sān), which imply deliberate repetition by a person, 频频 also covers impersonal events.
