Tips

usage
甘甜 is a literary and evocative way to say 'sweet', stronger and more poetic than simply (tián). It is often used to describe the taste of water, fruit, or air, and figuratively for pleasant emotions or memories.
memory
Both characters mean 'sweet': (gān) = sweet/pleasant, (tián) = sweet. The doubling intensifies the pleasantness.
