In The Near Future
Soon
adverb, noun
When something is close close (the 々 character repeats the kanji that was before it) it will happen in the near future, or soon.
This is pretty vague, and it's up to the person speaking to decide how soon soon is. Depending on the person and the situation, it could technically be used for anything up to a few years!
ちかぢか
きんきん
The reading is the kun'yomi reading twice; that's the one you learn with the vocab word 近い from the previous level. The second 近 gets converted to ぢか, though, so take note of that.
それについては、近々はっぴょうがあると思いますよ。
I think there will be an announcement about it soon.
近々雪がふるはずなので、たくさんつもったらかまくらを作ります。
We're supposed to get snow soon, so if we get a lot, I will make a snow igloo.
