Verb reduplication with "yi"

[[|

]]

Reduplication of certain verbs and adding an 一 (yī) can change the degree of something to "a little bit".

Structure

One way to reduplicate verbs is to insert 一 (yī), in the following structure:

Verb + 一 + Verb

As with simple verb reduplication, this creates a sense that the verb is done briefly or "a little bit".

给我 看一看 。Let me look a little.
你 听一听 。(You) Listen a bit.
去 试一试 。(You) Go and try it a bit.
请老师给我们 说一说。Teacher, please explain it to us a little.

你 问一问 他们厕所在哪里。(You), ask them a bit where the bathroom is.
我可以 用一用 你的电脑吗？Can I use your computer for a little bit?

Note: 上面的这个结构都可以变成“Verb + Verb”形式，比如“看看，听听，试试，说说，练练，走走，笑笑，玩玩，问问，用用”，意思保持不变。
