Question about French (France)
En anglais on peut dire "I haven't eaten eaten"/"I'm not tired tired" etc. pour dire que l'adjectif nous convient, mais pas à un niveau extrême. Genre pourrais-je dire "je n'ai pas mangé mangé" pour dire que j'ai mangé, mais pas autant que je n'ai plus faim ?

Oui comme en anglais tout est dans l'intonation je pense.
Pour ton example par contre je pense que tu peux plutôt dire: "J'ai mangé mais je suis pas plein plein" (I ate but I'm not full full) parce qu'en disant 'mangé, mangé' c'est comme si tu disais que tu n'avais pas vraiment mangé le repas (I didn't really 'ate ate' it) si tu vois ce que je veux dire.
Un autre exemple:
"- As-tu fini tes devoirs?
- J'ai pas fini fini mais presque quoi."
