Definition

在中文中，“那么”和“这么”可以用来修饰形容词，表示程度，相当于英语中的“so”或“such”。

In Chinese, “那么” (nàme) and “这么” (zhème) are used before adjectives to indicate degree, similar to 'so' or 'such' in English.

Usage

“那么”和“这么”放在形容词前面，用来强调程度。“这么”通常用于指代近处或已知的情况，而“那么”用于指代远处或较远的情况，但在口语中有时可以互换。结构：那么/这么 + 形容词。

“那么” and “这么” are placed before adjectives to emphasize the degree. “这么” usually refers to something near or known, while “那么” refers to something farther away, but in spoken language they are sometimes interchangeable. Structure: nàme/zhème + adjective.
