It is often used to describe something that happens frequently or regularly. For example, the sentence "我时时刻刻都在想你" (wǒ shíshíkèkè dōu zài xiǎng nǐ) means "I think of you all the time".The word 时时 can also be used to describe something that is happening at the present moment. For example, the sentence "现在是时时刻刻" (xiànzài shì shíshíkèkè) means "Now is the present moment".The word 时时 is a common word in Chinese, and is used in a variety of contexts.
