Nhận biết (M1)

In Ojibwe, an Indigenous language from the southeastern region of what is now the United States, wâsa means "far," whereas wa-wâsa means "far apart." This phenomenon, in which an element of a root word is repeated, sometimes with modification, within another word that is related to the root word, is called reduplication. In this case, the element "wâ" in wâsa gets repeated in wa-wâsa. There are many examples of this type of reduplication in Ojibwe.
