进进 (jìn jìn) — to move forward a bit; to make some progress (casual attempt)
Definition
进进 (jìn jìn) is the reduplicated form of 进, meaning a small, gradual step forward — a casual, tentative move or a bit of progress. The reduplication softens the action: less committed than a full 进, more like nudging ahead.
