听听 (tīng tīng) — to listen for a bit; to have a listen
Definition
听听 is a light, casual verb reduplication: 听 done briefly or casually — a 'quick listen' rather than serious or careful listening. The repeating form (A-A) softens the action, so it fits suggestions like 'let's hear what he says' better than plain 听.
