I read a tale that started as:
むかし、むかし、あるところに
おじいさんとおばあさんがいました。
Long, long ago, in some place there was an old man and an old woman.
I assumed that the むかし、むかし part could be written shorter, as 昔々. How is it pronounced, though?
Like in 人々 (ひとびと), the second part gets a dakuten. What happens with 昔々?
