Reduplication Effect Sorter

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 50, reduplication and expressive sound devices, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page.

Intensify / moderate / pluralize / shift word class.

Every item asks the same thing: What effect does the reduplication have? Each card carries one word, and you file it into the class it belongs to. The reason shows on the card either way, so a wrong guess teaches as much as a right one.
