数次
How to Understand
数次 means 'several times' or 'multiple times,' indicating an unspecified but notable number of occurrences. It is used to describe actions or events that happen more than once, but not a specific number.
The character 数 (shù) means 'to count' or 'number,' and 次 (cì) means 'time' or 'occasion.' Together, they form a phrase that conveys repetition without specifying the exact count, making it flexible for various contexts.
数次 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese to express repeated actions, such as meetings, attempts, or experiences. It is often used in formal or neutral tones and is less precise than numerical expressions like 两次 (two times) or 三次 (three times). In daily conversation, it helps convey that something happened more than once without needing to specify the exact number.
