常见问题 (6)

It goes immediately before the verb it modifies.
No, some like 'သေချာ' do not.
Always before the verb.
In Burmese, doubling an adjective creates a manner adverb. It's the standard way to say 'how' something is done.
No, that is incorrect. The verb must always be at the end of the sentence.
