006 - A的A,B的B - learn spoken Chinese

'A的A,B的B' refers to the fact that some are in this case, the others are in that case and they stand for the whole when combined.
A and B can be adjectives, verbs or verb compounds.

Examples:

这些衣裳肥的肥,瘦的瘦,没有一件适合我。
These clothes are either too big or too small and none suits me.

为了这次聚会,我们打扫的打扫,做饭的做饭,忙了一上午。
We had a busy morning today for the party. Some of us did cleaning and some others did cooking.
