你好 马隆,

We use the reduplicative formula of a verb to implies a short and quick action or to express an attempt.

I think you mean "yīxià" not "dixia", right?

yīxià can be used after a verb, which has the same function with the reduplication of a verb. Like "děng yīxià"等一下="děngděng"等等, you can left out "yī" in "děng yīxià", just say"děng xià"等下。

Hope that helps!

你好 马隆,

你说得对,wǒmen kěyǐ yòng dǐxià dàitì xià, yě kěyǐ yòng xià dàitì dǐxià. They are interchangeable.
