Japanese adverbs

[chi-chi-chibi]

If you want to combine two adverbs, is there anything you need to put between them? o-o I've tried looking it up on google and other search engines, but I couldn't find anything. xP (I even searched adverbs on the archive thing and npthing showed up. o-o) Please help!

Nope.

So you just put them one after the other? o-o
Like, if I wanted to say, "I speak only a little Japanese" would it be better to say "Tatte chotto nihongo o hanashimasu" or "chotto nihongo sae o hanashimasu"? (My friend suggested the second one, but I wanted to be sure.)

I don't think multiple adverbs per sentence are terribly common. And in general adverbs are put as close to the verb they modify as possible. A common and useful example using multiple adverbs I can think of is:

もう一度ゆっくりお願いします。 - "Once more slowly, please"

The word you're thinking of is たった not たって. But it sounds odd for your example (I don't think it's used as an adverb very often), so I would recommend one of these:

日本語がちょっとだけ話せます。
日本語がちょっとしか話せません。

You can replace ちょっと with すこし if you want to sound more formal. If you want to emphasis that you can speak only a *little*, you can use ほんのちょっと or ほんのすこし instead.

Ah, I see now.
Thank you very much for helping with this. ^-^
