'''Reduplication''' is repeating a word exactly or almost exactly to form a new word or phrase. In English, it occurs in words like "bye-bye" and "zigzag", in {{w|contrastive focus reduplication}}, and {{w|Shm-reduplication|with "schm-"}}. |
||
Reduplication has often been suggested for [[Toki Pona]], generally as an intensifier (for example, {{tp|[[suwi]] suwi}} for "really cute"). However, it is not widely used, with {{tp|[[a]]}}, {{tp|[[mute]]}}, and {{tp|[[suli]]}} being used for emphasis instead. It is occasionally not clear whether a repeated modifier is being used as an intensifier or as simply an ordinary word. |
