近々
ちかぢか · chikadika · JLPT N2 · adverb
soon
⏳ 近 = near, and 々 repeats it: near + near = soon, before long
The 々 mark repeats the kanji before it, so 近々 is near-near: an event drawing close in time. Read it chikadika, with the repeated chika and ka sounds.
近 — 辶 (walk) + 斤 (axe, phonetic)
近 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The 辶 radical signals movement or distance, while 斤 (axe) supplies the sound. Together they convey the idea of a short distance to walk, hence 'near' or 'close'.
