Why in French are sometimes words (i.e. nous or vous) repeated at once?

I'm doing Rosetta Stone and these are two examples (excuse the lack of French symbols):


Est-ce que vous vous promeniez a la montagne?


Oui, mais maintenant nous nous promenons au parc.





I just don't understand why you have to say nous or vous twice...|||Because they are pronominal verbs. They require a reflexive pronoun, and the reflexive pronoun for 'nous' and 'vous' is the same. 'Nous' means we, but it's also the reflexive pronoun meaning ourselves/eachother. So because the French say, "We feel eachother" - in a purely emotional way!!!! - to say, 'we feel', the verb ends up being: Nous nous sentons. Se sentir = to feel. Same with vous. Se d茅p锚cher, vous vous d茅p锚chez - you hurry.



Se promener is a reflexive verb, the French say to take yourself for a walk. If you're taking something else, the dog, for a walk, it's just, 'promener le chein'.

Je me promene, nous nous promenons. But, Je promene le chein, nous promenons le chein.



Je... me. Eg. Je me frise mes cheveux - I curl my hair

Tu....te. Eg. Tu te rends compte de... (You realize..)

Il/elle/on se. Elle s'int茅resse 脿...(She's interested in...) Elle s'y int茅resse - she's interested in it, when you've mentioned something beforehand.

Ils/elles se... Ils se taisent. (They keep quiet)

Vous vous. Eg. Vous vous s'asseyez. (You sit down, plural or polite). Imperative: Asseyez-vous.

Nous nous. Eg. Nous nous teintons nos cheveux. We dye our hair.



Bonne chance!|||se promener is a reflexive verb. This means that you have to have an extra word in between the subject and the verb.
