************************************************************

ABB structures consist of two words or phrases that are similar in meaning or sound. It can be used to create a variety of effects, such as emphasis, humor, or vivid imagery.

乐呵呵 (lèhēhē) is a compound word that combines the words 乐 (lè), meaning "happy," and 呵呵 (hēhē), an onomatopoeia for laughter. This word is often used to describe someone who is very happy and cheerful.

Here are some other examples of ABB structures in Chinese:

  • 气冲冲 (qì chōngchōng) - to be angry and impatient
  • 香喷喷 (xiāngpēnpēn) - to be fragrant and delicious
  • 慢吞吞 (màntūntūn) - to be slow and deliberate
  • 急匆匆 (jícōngcōng) - to be hurried and rushed
  • 臭烘烘 (chòuhōnghōng) - to be smelly and foul

In the next episodes, we'll learn about more common Chinese  ABB-structured words.
