Tibetan Colloquial Disclaimer
Link to originalDisclaimer
Those are my personal distilled notes on the great work done on colloquial Tibetan by Franziska Oertle and the SINI Sarnath International Nyingma Institute. They are not revised by teachers and might confuse you unless you are familiarized with the course material. I recommend you to not use these notes independently unless you have been exposed to the material before.
To say sentences like I did as much as I could. we use གང་ + repeating first syllable of the adjective (or verb) twice.
ང་སློབ་སྦྱོང་གང་ཡག་ཡག་བྱེད་ཀྱི་ཡོད། I study as well as I can (adjective)
ངས་སློང་མཁན་ལ་དངུལ་གང་ཡོད་ཡོད་སྤྲད་པ་ཡིན།; I gave the beggar as much as I had (verb)
ཁོང་གིས་ང་ཚོ་ལ་རོགས་པ་གང་ཐུབ་ཐུབ་བྱེད་ཀྱི་འདུག; He helps us as much as he can (verb)
ངས་ཁྱེད་རང་ལ་གང་ཤེས་ཤེས་ཞུས་པ་ཡིན།; I told you all I knew (lit. as much as I know) (h) (verb)
