Adjectives with "name" and "zheme"

Revision as of 09:50, 15 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (talk | contribs)

In English, the words "that" and "so" are often used to increase the extent of an adjective. In Chinese, 那么 (nàme) and 这么 (zhème) serve the same function. The structure is:

Subject + 那么 / 这么 + Adjective

Some examples:

  • 这 种 啤酒 这么 好喝!
  • 你 怎么 这么 美丽!
  • 那么 高!
