About

The word 那样 is formed by directly combining two characters: 那, which means "that", and 样, which means "manner" or "kind". When joined, they create a single term that literally and conceptually points to "that kind" or "that way", synthesizing a demonstrative with a noun of category to refer to a specific, aforementioned type or method.
