Já já Posted by on Jan 13, 2010 in Learning

In keeping up with our New Year review of some basic phrases, I’d like to reiterate a nice little expression: já já.

means already or soon. When you use it twice, it emphasizes the speed of the action your referring to. It is mostly used as a spoken term.

Examples:

Estou chegando já já. I’m almost there.

Já já ele vai ligar. He’s going to call very soon.

Vamos fazer o jantar já já. We’re going to make dinner very soon.
