- Right now only one word coming in my mind that is CHUPKE CHUPKE.
And do you know how to say them in english? same way like dheere dheere will you say slow slow or something else.

- I couldn\'t find kiya kiya or chupka chupka in my little dictionary, what do they mean?

As for dheere dheere:
dheere means slow
dheere dheere means slowly, thus the words are repeated to create the adverb from a word.
kabhi - occasionnal
kabhi kabhi - occasionally
Another example I know which also means slow:
ahista - slow
ahista ahista - slowly

But there are other forms to create the adverb of a word too, by adding se.
for example:
quick -tez
quickly - tezi se

Well that is all that I know. I don\'t know if there is a rule which determines which form (repeat or se) you use, or that we should just learn the forms for the words by memory.

- I like to add an other word which also means slow:
halke halke- slow
There is one similar word like halka means slightly.
chupke chupke means do quietly or shhhhh.
for kiya kiya there is more than one like:
what,what else,what is more
Have a great day
