Basic use of 那样
The most common way to use “那样” (nàyàng) is to say “like that” or “in that way”. It often refers to a manner, state, or method that has just been mentioned or is obvious from the context.
Referring to an action or state
You can use “那样” to describe how someone does something or the state of something.
Example: 别那样看着我。(Bié nàyàng kànzhe wǒ.) Don't look at me like that.
Referring to an outcome or result
It can also indicate the result of an action or situation.
Example: 如果你那样做，会很危险。(Rúguǒ nǐ nàyàng zuò, huì hěn wēixiǎn.) If you do it that way, it will be very dangerous.
Use with verbs
“那样” frequently follows verbs, acting as an adverbial phrase to modify the verb.
Example: 他喜欢那样生活。(Tā xǐhuān nàyàng shēnghuó.) He likes to live that way.
Contrast with “这样” (zhèyàng)
While “那样” refers to something further away or previously mentioned, “这样” (zhèyàng) means “like this” and refers to something closer or currently being demonstrated.
Example: 这样做很好。(Zhèyàng zuò hěn hǎo.) Doing it this way is good.
As a comparison
“那样” can be used to make a comparison, indicating something is similar to a previously described situation.
Example: 我希望生活能一直那样美好。(Wǒ xīwàng shēnghuó néng yīzhí nàyàng měihǎo.) I hope life can always be that beautiful.
Negative forms
To say “not like that” or “not in that way”, you can use “不是那样” (bù shì nàyàng) or “不要那样” (bú yào nàyàng).
Example: 你不要那样做。(Nǐ bú yào nàyàng zuò.) You shouldn't do it like that.
Practice with gestures
When learning “那样”, try to use a gesture pointing away from you or to something abstract when you say it. This will help you distinguish it from “这样” (pointing close to you).
Listen for context
In conversations, the meaning of “那样” is heavily dependent on the context. Pay attention to what was said just before “那样” to understand what “that way” refers to.
Simple sentences first
Start by incorporating “那样” into simple sentences. Don't try to make complex sentences right away.
Example: 不要那样。(Bú yào nàyàng.) Don't be like that.

وسيلة تذكّر
Think of '那' (nà) meaning 'that' and '样' (yàng) meaning 'kind' or 'style'. So, 'that kind/style' naturally leads to 'like that' or 'in that way'.
ربط بصري
Imagine someone pointing to a specific way of doing something, as if to say, 'Do it *that way*!' The finger pointing and the specific action can be your visual cue for 那样.

تحدٍّ
Try to describe a few actions or situations using 那样. For example, '我不想那样做。' (I don't want to do it that way.) or '事情不应该那样发展。' (Things shouldn't develop like that.)
أصل الكلمة
From '那' (nà, that) and '样' (yàng, manner/kind).
المعنى الأصلي: That manner; that kind.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, Mandarin.السياق الثقافي
The phrase '那样' is very common in everyday Chinese. It's often used to refer back to something previously mentioned or to describe a general manner of doing things. You'll hear it a lot in conversations when people are trying to explain how something is done or how something looks without having to repeat the full description.
الأسئلة الشائعة
10 أسئلة那样 (nàyàng) means 'like that' or 'in that way,' referring to something further away or previously mentioned. 这样 (zhèyàng) means 'like this' or 'in this way,' referring to something nearby or currently happening.
Yes, you can. For example, '他就是那样的人' (Tā jiù shì nàyàng de rén) means 'He is that kind of person.'
It's quite neutral and can be used in both formal and informal contexts. It's a very common everyday word.
While it often refers to a manner or way of doing something, it can also refer to a state, condition, or even a type of person or thing.
It's less common, but possible. Usually, it will refer back to something previously stated. For example, '那样做不好' (Nàyàng zuò bù hǎo) - 'Doing it that way is not good.'
Sometimes learners might overuse it when a simpler adverb like '很' (hěn - very) or '真' (zhēn - truly) would be more natural. It's best used when you're specifically referring to a manner or a previously understood situation.
You can say '不要那样' (Bùyào nàyàng) or '别那样' (Bié nàyàng).
Yes, there is. 那样 describes a manner or state ('like that,' 'in that way'). 那么 usually means 'then,' 'in that case,' or indicates a degree ('so,' 'that much'). For example, '他那么高' (Tā nàme gāo) - 'He is so tall.'
Yes, it can. For example, '那样不好' (Nàyàng bù hǎo) - 'That way is not good.' Or '那样很奇怪' (Nàyàng hěn qíguài) - 'That way is very strange.'
Absolutely. One common one is '不是那样' (Bú shì nàyàng) - 'It's not like that' or 'That's not the case.' Another is '就那样' (Jiù nàyàng) - 'Just like that' or 'It's just like that.'
