动词的重叠 reduplication of the verb In Chinese, verbs can be reduplicated. The form for reduplicated monosyllabic verbs is “AA” or “A—A”. However, the form for reduplicated bisyllabic verbs is” ABAB”, and “---“ cannot be added between the two syllables of bisyllabic verbs. For example: 看看,说说,等一等,用不用,数一数,介绍介绍,复习复习,etc. Reduplicating a verb has the function of implying a short duration for that action or the idea of giving something a try. In this sense, it is similar to adding “一下” to the verb.
