Definition
这样 (zhè yàng) means 'like this, this way' and can also mean 'such, this kind of' when used before a noun with 的. It differs from 这么 (zhè me), which is used before adjectives (so big) or verbs (do it this way) but cannot directly modify nouns. 那样 (nà yàng) is the counterpart for 'that way'.
