Dear Izolda 62,
I have never heard British people in the UK use the phrase "Same same".
There is no reference to this phrase in the "Oxford English Dictionary", nor in "Chamber �s Dictionary".
I have heard the phrase used and written by non-native speakers.

Occasionally, in western Canada we use this expression. Said quickly, so it almost sounds like one word. The dictionary meanings as azlem.yagiz described previously are correct.

Hello! Sorry for dropping into this topic, I am new to this site and I don�t know how to open a new topic? One of my materials is deleted from my account (a pp presentation Why teachers drink) and the administrators wrote that it was reported as not following the criteria..I asked the administrator whether it might be because of the title, but nobody responded yet they haven �t put it back? Can somebody explain to me how I can send them a message again? They didn�t explain why... Only that it didn�t follow the criteria..Thaks a lot!

these words are commonly used in gulf area by Indians and Arabs to show
that things are the same price age for example if A is 100$ and B is
100$ they say same same
means this is just like that
wish it helps

Interesting, Essam. �Gulf English �: why not?
Is there any possibility, Izolda, that you �re thinking of �same old, same old �, which essentially means �no real change� (plus �a change...).
