About

妹妹 is formed by duplicating the character 妹, which is composed of the semantic component 女 meaning "female" and the phonetic component 未 which suggests its pronunciation. The repetition creates a disyllabic word specifically meaning "younger sister", with the reduplication often indicating familiarity or informal address.
