### Description
We are using the word “doublet” to refer to two words or very short phrases that are used together and either mean the same thing or mean very close to the same thing. Often they are joined with the word “and.” Often they are used to emphasize or intensify the idea expressed by the two words.
We are using the word “doublet” to refer to two words or phrases that are used together and either mean the same thing or mean very close to the same thing. Often they are joined with the word “and.” Unlike [Hendiadys](../hendiadys/01.md), in which one of the words modifies the other, in a doublet the two words or phrases are equal and are used to emphasize or intensify the one idea that is expressed by the two words or phrases.
#### Reason this is a translation issue
In some languages people do not use doublets. Or they may use doublets, but only in certain situations, so a doublet might not make sense in their language in some verses. In either case, translators may need to find some other way to express the meaning expressed by the doublet.

If a doublet would be natural and give the right meaning in your language, consider using it. If not, consider these strategies.
1. Translate only one of the words.
1. If the doublet is used to intensify the meaning, translate one of the words and add a word that intensifies it such as “very” or “great” or “many.”
