"等等" (děng děng), or simply "等", has the same meaning as “and so on” or “etc.” in English. Both are placed after a series of items (the list of which generally exceeds two items).
Structure:
The basic structure is easy. Just make a list of things, and add 等 or 等等 to the end of the list. It's the same as in English when we use "etc." at the end of a list.
A1,A2...等/等等
