When talking about frequency in Chinese, you generally put the number before the measure word for 'times', which is 次 (cì). So, for 'two times' or 'twice', you directly say 两次 (liǎng cì). This is a very common and direct way to express this idea.
For example, if you want to say 'I have been to China twice', you would say 我去过中国两次 (wǒ qù guò Zhōngguó liǎng cì). It's a straightforward construction that you'll use often when discussing how many times an action has occurred.
재미있는 사실
Unlike some other languages that might have a unique word for 'twice,' Chinese often forms such expressions by combining a number with a relevant measure word.

Often confused with '两遍' (liǎng biàn) or '双' (shuāng) due to similar meanings related to 'two' or 'twice'.
'两次' (liǎng cì) specifically means 'two times' or 'twice' in terms of frequency or occurrences. It's a general measure word for actions or events. '两遍' (liǎng biàn) refers to doing something 'twice' with a focus on repetition, especially for processes or readings. '双' (shuāng) is a measure word for pairs or sets of two.
我去了两次中国。 (Wǒ qù le liǎng cì Zhōngguó.) - I went to China twice. (Here, it emphasizes the number of visits.)
Often confused with '两次' (liǎng cì) because both can mean 'twice'.
'两遍' (liǎng biàn) is used when you repeat an action or process twice. It emphasizes the completion of the action two times. For example, reading a text twice. '两次' (liǎng cì) is a more general term for 'two times' or 'twice' in terms of discrete occurrences.
请你把这篇文章读两遍。 (Qǐng nǐ bǎ zhè piān wénzhāng dú liǎng biàn.) - Please read this article twice. (Here, it implies completing the reading action two times.)
Confused with '两次' (liǎng cì) or '两' (liǎng) because it also relates to the number two.
'双' (shuāng) is a measure word for items that come in pairs, like shoes, chopsticks, or eyes. It's not used to count actions or occurrences. '两次' (liǎng cì) is for counting actions/events.
我买了一双鞋。 (Wǒ mǎi le yī shuāng xié.) - I bought a pair of shoes. (Refers to two individual shoes forming a pair.)
Can be confused with '两次' (liǎng cì) due to the presence of '二' (èr) and '次' (cì).
'二次' (èr cì) is more commonly used in formal or technical contexts, often meaning 'secondary' or 're-' (as in re-election, secondary processing). While it literally means 'second time', '两次' (liǎng cì) is the common way to say 'two times' in everyday conversation.
这是二次污染。 (Zhè shì èr cì wūrǎn.) - This is secondary pollution. (Here, it indicates a stage or type of pollution.)
While not directly meaning 'twice', its connotation of repeated action can be confusing alongside words that mean 'two times'.
'再三' (zài sān) means 'again and again' or 'repeatedly', emphasizing multiple repetitions, not necessarily just two. '两次' (liǎng cì) specifically means 'two times'.
我再三强调了。 (Wǒ zàisān qiángdiào le.) - I emphasized it again and again. (Implies multiple times, more than just two.)
