個々

ここ · koko · JLPT N3 · noun

person

🧩 個 = one piece + 々 = repeat it: piece, piece, so each one individually

個 is the counter for single items, and 々 is the mark that repeats the kanji before it. Counting piece after piece gives you each one on its own. It reads koko, the same sound as ここ (here), so think: here one, here another.
