peer agreement (net): +1Many Explanation: 一间间，一个个，一堆堆，.... In Chinese, when a “classifier” is repeated, it means "many". Example: 走在红灯区的路上，你会看到一间间的按摩院，外面有一个个穿着性感的小姐在拉生意。 Walking along the streets of the red light district, you can see many massage parlors. Girls dressed in sexy outfits standing outside trying to bring in customers. 一间间图片社也应运而生。 Many photo agencies were formed (like a trend of the time). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2023-05-29 02:42:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Chinese classifier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_classifier List of Chinese classifiers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_classifiers |
