Chinese Grammar: Reduplication of measure words
 
If you know what a measure word is and how to use it, you may be ready for this pattern, where the measure word can repeat, or "reduplicate." It's not a terribly common structure, but the two most common examples of it are 个个 and 天天. It adds the meaning of "every" to the noun that follows.
The reduplicated measure word should precede the predicate of the sentence, often a verb phrase or an adjective.
 
Structure: Subj + MW + MW + Predicate
 
By far, the most commonly reduplicated measure words are 个个 (meaning "every one" of something) and 天天 (meaning "every day"). For less common measure words, the meaning is still the same: "every" of something (for which the measure word applies).
 
Examples:
公司的员工个个都很好。(gōngsī de yuángōng gè gè dōu hěn hǎo) = All the employees in the company are good.
他们个个都不喜欢打游戏。(tāmen gè gè dōu bù xǐhuan dǎ yóuxì) = They all don’t like to play games.
这个星期他天天给我打电话。(zhège xīngqī tā tiān tiān gěi wǒ dǎ diànhuà) = He called me every day this week.
我天天走路去公司。(ǒ tiān tiān zǒulù qù gōngsī) = Every day I walk to my company.
现在家家都有手机。(xiànzài jiā jiā dōu yǒu shǒujī) = Now every family has a cell phone.
这里的公司家家都用苹果电脑。(zhèlǐ de gōngsī jiā jiā dōu yòng Píngguǒ diànnǎo) = Every company here is using Apple computers.
我的衣服件件都很好看。(wǒ de yīfu jiàn jiàn dōu hěn hǎokàn) = All my clothes look very good.
这家店的书本本都很贵。(zhè jiā diàn de shū běn běn dōu hěn guì) = Every book in this store is very expensive.
她次次都打车来。(tā cì cì dōu dǎchē lái) = Every time she takes a taxi.
这些小狗只只都很可爱。(zhèxiē xiǎogǒu zhī zhī dōu hěn kěài) = All these dogs are very cute.
