Grammar
Verb Repetition
|
Verbs in Chinese can be repeated consecutively. In this lesson, we're going to learn this structure in the following situations: When an action hasn't been taken, the verb is repeated to ease the tone and express one's wishes politely. Similarly, verbs being repeated behind volitive auxiliary verbs like “想” and “打算” can have the same effect. There are two types of verb repetitions: the repetition of the monosyllabic verbs and the repetition of dual-syllablic verbs.
(The repetition of monosyllabic verbs should be arranged in "AA" form or "A---A" form, where A represents monosyllabic verb). Example: 看看/看一看 to have a look at...
The repetition of dual-syllable verbs should be arranged in "ABAB" form (where A and B represent the two syllables in a verb). Example: 参观参观to have a visit... 讨论讨论to have a discussion

I've been once in Shanghai for business and once in HK-Macau for holiday (but they speak cantonese mostly, heheh..).
I would love to visit Beijin one day, as well as many other beautiful places in China!
