HSK 4 Adverbs
逐渐 / 渐渐
Gradually with 逐渐/渐渐
Structure 逐渐 / 渐渐 + change
逐渐 (zhújiàn) and 渐渐 (jiànjiàn) mean "gradually, little by little", for a slow, progressive change: 天气逐渐冷了 = "the weather is gradually getting cold". They go before the verb and almost always describe an evolution (often closing with 了). 渐渐 is a bit more colloquial.
Examples
