How to say "repeated" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 累次るいじnoun, adverbCovers 'repeated' in the sense of successive repetitions of events or actions, with a formal, written flavor. Since it is less common, learners will rarely need it; reach for it only in formal descriptive contexts.
- na-adjectiveCovers 'repeated' as frequent, continual, or constant recurrence. It is less common and is usually written in kana rather than with kanji, so learners should default to the kana form when using it.
Both are less common ways to express 'repeated': 累次 suits formal descriptions of successive occurrences, while 「しきり」(usually written in kana)stresses something happening frequently or continually.
