みかんmandarinむいて剥いてpeel

Peel me a mandarin

How it works

Two words, no particle: みかん (mandarin) sits bare as the thing being acted on, then the verb. 剥くむく (peel) appears in its (te-form) form 剥いてむいて (peel), which here works as a soft, casual request — “peel it, would you?” Dropping the object particle and ending on the bare te-form keeps it light and spoken.
