In Taiwanese, triplication refers to repeating a syllable three times for emphasis. For example, "[[aang]]" means "red". Something extremely red is "{{tts|aarng'ang'aang|}}" (紅紅紅). Generally, the first syllable must undergo tone change to the rare rising tone (#6). | In Taiwanese, triplication refers to repeating a syllable three times for emphasis.
