6. 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” suffix, like 慢慢儿(màn mānr), 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.
1.王朋高高的，很帅。
    wáng péng gāo gāo de, hěn shuài.
    Wang Peng is tall and handsome.
2.可乐凉凉的，很好喝。
   kě lè liáng liáng de, hěn hǎo hē.
   The cola is nicely chilled and tastes good.
