Verb reduplication with "yi"
Revision as of 03:53, 24 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (talk | contribs)
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".
Some examples:
- 给 我 看 一 看。
- 你 听 一 听。
- 他 试 一 试。
