絮絮叨叨

絮絮叨叨 means to speak in a long, repetitive, and tedious manner. It describes someone who keeps talking without getting to the point, often annoying others with their constant chatter.

The word is composed of two repeated characters 絮 (xù) and 叨 (dāo). Both 絮 and 叨 individually mean 'talk' or 'murmur,' and their repetition emphasizes the continuous, unending nature of the speech. This structure is common in Chinese to indicate intensity or repetition.

This phrase is often used in informal settings to describe someone’s talkative behavior, especially when it becomes irritating. It is not considered offensive but rather a humorous or light-hearted way to point out someone's tendency to go on and on.
