Definition
比比 is an adverb with two distinct uses: (1) meaning 'frequently' or 'many times' — emphasizing repeated actions over time; (2) meaning 'everywhere' or 'here and there' — describing something widely present, often in the fixed phrase 比比皆是 (to be found everywhere). The two senses don't overlap, so pay attention to context. The second sense is much more common in formal or written Chinese.
