Definition
家家户户 (jiā jiā hù hù) is a fixed expression meaning 'every single household' — it emphasizes that each and every family is included, often used as a subject or adverb. It differs from 家庭 (jiā tíng), a general noun for 'family' as a unit, and from 千家万户 (qiān jiā wàn hù), a more literary phrase that stresses the great number of families.
