What is the difference between using 很, and duplication of the Adjective? I often come along different circumstances where people will say an adjective like 很辣 but they will also say 辣辣的. I know that they have the same general meaning, but I don't really understand the connotations of the two. 我常常听别人说“很辣”，但是他们和常常说“辣辣的”。我知道那汉子有一样意思，可是我不董这个"connotations"Thanks for the answers. There are still some contextual things that I don't get sometimes, and this helped a little bit to clear that up. 谢谢Cherry和Sindy.你们帮了我很好！
