Definition
见见 is the reduplicated form of 见 (jiàn, 'to see/meet'). In Chinese, verb reduplication (VV pattern) often adds a casual, tentative, or short-duration nuance. 见见 means 'to meet (briefly/casually)' or 'to catch up with someone' — it softens the request and implies the meeting won't be formal or lengthy. You'll hear it in friendly invitations like 有空来见见 ('come see me when you're free').
