Chinese Reduplication

[petsohp]

 When it comes to chinese grammar, I have always thanked the gods that gauding the rules are generally straight forward. But theres a thing that has come to my attention, and its what google calls 'reduplications'. From personal research, I have found the conclusion why this rule is making my head spin: It is a certificate fact that the complexity of grammitcal 'reduplication' is not found in the languages I speak, english and spanish. (https://wals.info/feature/27A#2/28.3/149.1)

In many cases, I've concluded that I need to first expand my knowledge of characters to actually get into the details of 'reduplication', but every once in a while, I get stumped in a  direct why is this meaning getting reduplicated? 

So just for fun: anyone has any reduplicates examples that they think aren't grasped after knowing the meaning of the characters?
