Reduplication of Adjectives

Some Chinese adjectives can be reduplicated. When monosyllabic adjectives are reduplicated, the

accent usually falls on the second occurrence. When the reduplicated monosyllabic adjective takes

a “r” suffi x, like 慢慢儿 (màn mānr, slow), its second occurrence is usually pronounced in the first tone, regardless what the adjective’s original tone is.

Reduplication of adjectives often suggests an approving and appreciative attitude on the speaker’s part.

Reduplication of adjectives usually does not appear in the negative form.

王朋高高的，很帅。 Wáng Péng gāo gāo

de, hěn shuài. Wang Peng is tall

and handsome.

The cola is nicely chilled and tastes good. 可乐凉凉的，很好喝

。 Kělè liáng liáng de,

hěn hǎo hē.

The hot and sour soup is a bit sour and a bit hot; it tastes great. 酸辣汤酸酸的、辣辣的，非常好喝。 Suānlà tāng suān suān de, là là de,

fēicháng hǎo hē.

The Verb 来 (lái)

In colloquial expressions, the verb 来 (lái) can serve as a substitute for certain verbs, mostly in imperative sentences.

The use of 来 (lái) is rather limited. It is usually used in restaurants and stores, especially when buying small things or coaxing someone to sing a song.

A ： 先生，你们想吃点儿

什么？ Xiānsheng, nǐmen

xiǎng chī diǎnr shénme?

Sir, what would you like?

B ： 来一盘糖醋鱼，一碗

酸辣汤，和一碗米饭。

Lái yì pán tángcùyú, yì wǎn suānlàtāng, hé yì wǎn mǐfàn.

Give me a plate of sweet and sour fish, a bowl of hot and sour soup, and a bowl of rice, please.

(At a party, when someone has sung a song) 再来一个！ Zài lái yí ge! Encore!

The Dynamic Particle 过 (guo)

The dynamic particle 过 (guo) is used to denote a past experience or occurrence that did not continue to the present but, typically, had an impact on the present.

I worked in Chinatown for a year, so I know how to get there.

我在中国城工作过一年，所以我知道怎么走。

Wǒ zài Zhōngguóchéng gōngzuò guo yì nián, suǒyǐ wǒ zhīdào zěnme zǒu.

The fact that the speaker worked in Chinatown for a year is the reason why he/she knows how to get there.

我见过李友， ( 所以知道 ) 她很高。

Wǒ jiàn guo Lǐ Yǒu, (suǒyǐ zhīdào) tā hěn gāo.

I’ve met Li You before,

(so I know) she is tall.

Expressions of time are often either unspecified or completely absent. If there is no time expression, the implied time for the action or event is 以前 (y qián, before; previously). ǐSometimes 以前 (y qián) ǐcan appear in the sentence as well.

Chinatown

我以前去过中国城，知道怎么走。

Wǒ yǐqián qù guo Zhōngguóchéng, zhīdào zěnme zǒu.

I’ve been to Chinatown before. I know how to get there.

An expression indicating a specifi c time can also occasionally appear in a sentence with 过 (guo).

ma? Have you ever met Miss

Li?

见过，上个月还见过她。 Jiàn guo, shàng ge yuè

hái jiàn guo tā. Yes. I saw her as

recently as last month.

Reduplication of Verbs

Like adjectives, verbs can also be reduplicated.

Reduplication of a verb in this lesson refers to an anticipated or requested action, and it makes the tone of the sentence milder.

我用用你的电脑可以吗？

Wǒ yòng yong nǐ de diànnǎo kěyǐ ma?

May I use your computer for a minute?

你考完试，我们一起去公园走走，聊聊天儿。

Nǐ kǎo wán shì, wǒmen yìqǐ qù gōngyuán zǒu zou, liáo liao tiānr.

Let’s take a walk in the park and have a chat after your exam.

If a sentence includes both a modal verb and an action verb, only the action verb can be

reduplicated.

她想看看我的新手机。 Tā xiǎng kàn kan wǒ

de xīn shǒujī. She wants to take a

look at my new cell phone.
