interjection #21,991

Meanings

  1. 1 tsk / tut (sound of disapproval or admiration)
  2. 2 to click one's tongue

Tips

usage
啧 is highly context-dependent. A single 啧 usually signals mild disapproval or impatience (like 'tsk'). But 啧啧 or 啧啧称奇 expresses admiring wonder — the repeated form flips the meaning to admiration. Tone and context are everything.
