湿乎乎 (shī hū hū) — damp; moist; humid (describing a sticky, wet feeling)

Definition

A vivid, colloquial adjective for a sticky-damp or clammy feel — typically on skin or fabric. Stronger and more sensory than plain 湿 ('wet'); 比 潮湿 emphasizes the uncomfortable sticky sensation rather than ambient moisture.
