NON separable disyllabic verbs
Hello

I know most of disyllabic verbs in chinese are separable and have the V + O structure, like 吃饭 or 结婚.
But I want to know a brief list with the most common NON separable dysillabic ones, for example 收拾, the kind of ones that can only be reduplicated using the ABAB pattern.

Thanks a lot

NON separable disyllabic verbs
Hello

I know most of disyllabic verbs in chinese are separable and have the V + O structure, like 吃饭 or 结婚.
But I want to know a brief list with the most common NON separable dysillabic ones, for example 收拾, the kind of ones that can only be reduplicated using the ABAB pattern.

Thanks a lot

Answer

Actually, 收拾 can be separated into two verbs, 收 and 拾.  But they have the same meaning. 
There are bunch of verbs which are not in that structure(V+O).
吩咐 叮咛 整理 改革 关闭 收获 智力 汇集 收集 筛选 提高 缩小 注意…………

BTW:  Those can not be separated words are called “单纯词” in Chinese. The others are "合成词".  You can try to look them up.

Answer

much pain no gain this is the aim
