Unlike adjectives, adverbs of manner are often<br />

reduplicated. Most of the time, the reduplication is<br />

obligatory, especially when used after the verb. A sentence<br />

can either be unacceptable or have a different meaning if<br />

the adverb is not reduplicated.<br />

bacut-bacut ka-peuseuk 'move slowly/carefully'<br />

bacut ka-oeuseuk 'move some of it'<br />

ka-boh 1ioh-iioh 'throw it away far from here'<br />

*ka-boh jioh '"throw distant away'<br />

Ka-jak peuleuheuen-peuleuheuen, 'go slowly'<br />

*ka-iak peuleuheuen<br />

ka-kheun ravek-ravek 'read it loudly'<br />

ka-kheun rayek 'say the word "rayek"'<br />

Sometimes, it is possible to use the words without<br />

reduplicating them, but the pronunciation of the last<br />

syllable must be stressed and dragged a little. Usually the<br />

word keudeh 'EMP' is also used. Hyphens (—) are used in the<br />

following examples to indicate the lengthening of the<br />

syllables.<br />

or not.<br />

lon-bbh Iio—h keudeh 'I threw it far away'<br />

jj-iak meule—k keudeh 'he walk very slowly'<br />

baoah 'quick' can be used in either form, reduplicated<br />

iak baqah/bagah-bagah 'walk quickly'
