Explicação da Regra:

One of the charming features of Chinese is reduplication (repeating, or doubling up) of certain words and characters, including adjectives . Reduplication can enhance the descriptive feeling of an adjective. If an adjective is only one syllable (one character), then reduplicating it is a no-brainer. The only tricky part about this pattern is that not all adjectives can be reduplicated in natural speech. It's mostly for adjectives that describe the physical world: colors, sizes, shapes, and other physical descriptors. Adj. + Adj. + 的 (+ Noun) In most Chinese textbooks and grammar books, this is known as the "AA" pattern. We'll be using this form more extensively below:
