Meaning and Usage
"那样" (nàyàng) means "that way" or "like that" and is used to refer to a manner, style, or condition previously mentioned or understood in context. It often points to a specific way something is done or a particular state.
Common Contexts
It is frequently used to describe behavior, actions, or conditions, often with a judgment or consequence implied, such as "那样做" (do it that way) or "那样的天气" (weather like that).
Collocations and Patterns
- 那样做: to do it that way, often implying a method or approach
- 那样对待: to treat (someone) like that, often with a negative connotation
- 那样的 + noun: describing a type or kind of something
Usage Notes
"那样" is more specific than just "那" because it emphasizes the manner or style rather than just pointing out something. It can be used in both spoken and written Chinese and is common in everyday conversation. Avoid confusing it with "这样" which means "this way"; "那样" refers to something more distant or previously mentioned.
Tone and Register
It is neutral and suitable for informal and formal contexts. When used with a negative tone, it can express disapproval or warning about a certain behavior or condition.
