Definition
听听 is the reduplicated form of 听 (tīng, to listen). In Chinese, verb reduplication (VV pattern) indicates a short, casual, or tentative action — like 'to listen a bit' or 'to have a listen'. It can also soften a request or suggestion, making it sound more polite or inviting. For example, 你听听这个 (Nǐ tīng tīng zhège) means 'Listen to this for a bit.'
