Nhận biết (M1)

In Ojibwe, an Indigenous language from the Great Lakes region of what are now the United States and Canada, pangi means "a little bit," whereas pa-pangi means "rarely." 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 "pa" in pangi gets repeated in pa-pangi. There are many examples of this type of reduplication in Ojibwe.
