Reduplication words


What is the difference between 久々 and 久し振り? Is 久々 derived from the root of
久しい?




I would say that the difference would be minimal and to say otherwise would be
nitpicking.

「久々{ひさびさ}」 could at times sound **_slightly_** more formal and emphatic than
「久{ひさ}し振{ぶ}り」. For that reason, you would hear the latter more often in the
informal daily conversations among us native speakers.

> " Is 久々 derived from the root of 久しい?"

Yes, certainly. You know reduplication is a trademark of our language.
