When nouns representing everyday things are small, they often start with the word "ga", such as ga door, ga table, ga bird and ga window. Or as long as the nouns overlap, add a word "zi" after it, which also means small.

Such as doors, tables, windows, etc. ; Adjectives are followed by reduplicated words expressing sounds, which constitute a strong meaning. Such as "red lost", "soft", "chubby", "red chirp", "yellow stare blankly" and "hard increase".
