https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/389766/how-to-express-small-small-in-english

This question was put on hold as 'not clear' but OP has said 'subcontinental languages' which obviously refers to Indian subcontinental languages, because I have not heard of any other subcontinent. Moreover the tag 'Indian English' has been used.

>My guess is that this is merely used to express a plural form (...) Am I right?

 OP wants to know **'whether I am is right to think that** double words like *big big* and *small small* indicate plurality?' The title asks: How should I express this in (idiomatically correct) English?

***What is not clear in this question?***

John Hamilton has written a very confident, correct answer that was supported by 1006a. It says that OP is right to interpret plurality, and the equivalent English term would be 'numerous' or 'many.' I can confirm that this answer is correct, and I ought to know because I am Indian!

MANY USERS MADE WELL-INTENTIONED SPECULATIVE ANSWERS THAT WERE FAR OFF TARGET.

Are we supposed to present 'educated guesswork' as answers rather than comments? Was that the reason for putting this Q on hold?

If not, then there is nothing ambiguous about the question and it ought to be reopened.
