Re: Duplication in Chinese



Folks

Just a short note on the subject of duplications.
In Malay, as in several related languages, the
plural is indicated by duplication, thus "orang"
means "man" and "orang-orang" means "men".

Well, there's a cookbook called
Rahsia Masakan Nyonya, "Secrets of Nonya
Cooking", and if you check the recipes, you'll
see - duplications.

Food for thought?
