那会儿 is a Chinese word that means "at that time" or "back then". It is composed of two characters: 那 (nà), which means "that", and 会儿 (huìr), which means "a while" or "a moment". The word 那会儿 is often used to refer to a specific time in the past, such as "那会儿我还在上学" (nà huìr wǒ hái zài shàngxué, "back then I was still in school"). It can also be used to refer to a general period of time in the past, such as "那会儿的生活很艰苦" (nà huìr de shēnghuó hěn jiānkǔ, "life was very hard back then").The word 那会儿 is a relatively new word in Chinese. It is not found in any dictionaries before the 20th century. It is believed to have originated in the Beijing dialect, and it has since spread to other parts of China.那会儿 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is a useful word for HSK learners to know, as it can help them to express themselves more clearly and accurately when talking about the past.
