Hello everyone! Recently, I have been interested in learning Chinese by reading quotes from Xiaohongshu. I saw a quote which attracted me a lot; however, I am struggling with the translation. I don't understand these words "反反复复磕磕绊绊". Can you help me translate it? This is the original sentences:
书上说:“如果喜欢一个人,你更喜欢叫他全名。”
为什么喜欢一个人更喜欢叫他全名 给他起外号爱意太明显,想了好久,反反复复磕磕绊绊才叫出他的名字。
Thanks you.

反反复复:体现了两层含义:1 纠结于起外号还是叫名字,心中想了很多遍。 2 决定叫名字时,心中已经叫了很多遍他的名字。
磕磕绊绊:体现了因喜欢而产生的激动,导致叫名字不流利。

反反复复 (fǎn fǎn fù fù) : This phrase means "repeatedly" or "over and over again." It conveys the idea of doing something multiple times, often with hesitation or indecision. In this context, it suggests that the person is struggling internally, going back and forth in their mind before saying the other person's name.
磕磕绊绊 (kē kē bàn bàn) : This phrase literally describes stumbling or tripping, but figuratively, it refers to speaking hesitantly or awkwardly. When someone is emotionally affected or nervous, they might have trouble expressing themselves clearly. Here, it implies that the speaker is having difficulty saying the other person's name because of their strong feelings.
Combined Meaning:
"反反复复磕磕绊绊" captures the emotional struggle and nervousness of someone who is deeply affected by their feelings for another person. They keep thinking about it repeatedly (反反复复), and when they finally try to say the name, they stumble over their words (磕磕绊绊), unable to express themselves smoothly. This vividly portrays the internal tension and vulnerability of liking someone.

This is the reason why I find it interesting to learn Chinese, with 8 words you can describe such a complicated feelings that we will need a paragraph to describe it in English.
