He has almost lost all his money. 差唔多 and 咁滯 are two apparently redundant adverbs that share the meaning of "almost". However, when used together, they function as two split constituents that form part of a discontinuous construction.
This sentence is in Cantonese, not Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. 粵 Level: 4 |
