boctulus Posted January 29, 2016 at 12:14 AM Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 at 12:14 AM I saw in Google searches, this is the context: https://www.google.com.co/search?q=%E5%93%81%E5%93%81&oq=%E5%93%81%E5%93%81&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59j0l4.702j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigZaboon Posted January 29, 2016 at 01:14 AM Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 at 01:14 AM I only saw two characters used in your link. They are read Shinajina, and are being used as the name of a bonsai shop. Bonsai are traditional miniaturized potted plants in Japan. Shinajina probably means "lots of stuff available" in this shop. In any case it is Japanese, not Chinese here. I will confirm the meaning and get back to you later today. TBZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boctulus Posted January 29, 2016 at 01:28 PM Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 at 01:28 PM Thanks TheBigZaboon! Here more examples.... almost always 品品 looks food-related in chinese: http://www.cwroom.com/shop/lingshi/rouzhipin/cwroom_shop_1324611597391.html http://www.maichawang.com/goods-101134.html http://www.taobao.com/product/%E5%93%81%E5%93%81%E9%A3%9F%E5%93%81.html PD: I saw 品品品 only once so... I think everyone here is right about non-meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse Posted January 29, 2016 at 07:34 PM Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 at 07:34 PM According to Baidu, there are three meanings of 品品. The first two are Classical, so the third one is probably the one you're looking for: (3). 感受，鉴赏,品尝。 如：品品这杯酒。 It seems to feature in names for food related things, so I assume it has this meaning. Doubt it's a word that most people are familiar with though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lips Posted January 30, 2016 at 01:56 AM Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 at 01:56 AM Isn't this just the common practice of doubling up a verb tp mean "do a bit of" ? In this case the verb is 品, meaning "taste", as in wine tasting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted February 6, 2016 at 07:36 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 at 07:36 AM Agree with lips. Not a distinct word. Not sure either of meanings 1 and 2 are distinct either, just different uses of reduplication (to show "every", cf. 天天向上、人人皆爱 etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
