About

The word "那里" is formed through the straightforward semantic combination of its two component characters: "那" (nà), which functions as a demonstrative meaning "that", and "里" (lǐ), which denotes an interior, locale, or general place. By joining them, the concept directly shifts from the abstract idea of "that" to the specific spatial designation of "that place" or "there", creating a compound where the sum of the parts clearly and intuitively conveys the intended meaning of a pointed location.
