Question: Ask your friend to have a look at your new room.
Hint
1 Duplicate the verb 看 to soften the tone
Hint 2 看 看 我 的 新 房 间
Answer 请 你 看 看 我 的 新 房 间 。 Listen
Comments Alternatively: 看 看 我 的 新 房 间 吧
kànkan wŏ de xín fángjiān ba or 你 想 看 看 我 的 新 房 间 吗
nĭ xiăng kànkan wŏ de xín fángjiān ma? A duplicated verb phrase is used to soften the tone of voice, especially in the situation where the verb has to be placed at the end of a sentence. For instance, 我 给 你 介 绍 介 绍
wŏ gěi nĭ jièjièshàoshào
let me introduce you: without the duplication at the end it sounds abrupt and bossy.
