The Chinese word 这样 (zhèyàng) is composed of two characters: 这 (zhè) and 样 (yàng). The character 这 is a demonstrative pronoun that means "this" or "these". The character 样 is a noun that means "manner", "way", or "style". Together, the two characters 这样 mean "in this way", "like this", or "in this manner".The word 这样 can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to describe the manner in which something is done, to compare two things, or to make a suggestion. For example, you could say 这样很好 (zhèyàng hěn hǎo) to mean "this is very good", or 你可以这样说 (nǐ kěyǐ zhèyàng shuō) to mean "you can say it like this".The word 这样 is also used in a number of idioms and proverbs. For example, the idiom 这样那样 (zhèyàng nà yàng) means "this and that", and the proverb 这样说那样做 (zhèyàng shuō nà yàng zuò) means "to say one thing and do another".The word 这样 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of ways. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used frequently in both spoken and written Chinese.
