Word usage
- Note1."常常" is different from "通常" and "经常". "常常" often means that the action occurs many times in a short period of time; when emphasizing the regularity or generality of the action, you should use "通常" or "经常". 2."常常" is different from "往往". 1) "往往" can refer to things that happen in the future; "常常" is generally not used in the future. 2) All the meanings of the word "往往" are different from the ones of "往"; the meaning of the word "常常" is close to the meaning which indicates "often" of "常".
