I'm pretty sure no self-respecting Englishman would say "shake shake shake shake shake shake" either. Kou, don't tell me there is no Géarthçin trash pop available!

That's what "thkai" is for, placed before the verb. It deals with "over and over", "repeatedly", and "V and V" (eg. "They talked and talked."). For giggles, I repeated the verb once, but you'd be clipped at the knees by your fourth grade Géarthnuns teacher for writing or speaking like that within earshot of the school.
Is this a mere coincidence that the word for "we" is the same as in German?Khemehekis wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019 06:31 14. Is ayarmas hames membades az pure hesias shil "wir" -- ar as meya zhikuo nodoi, isnaloshas.
