zheme 这么 = such/so 她这么漂亮！你这么聪明啊！ 老鬼

why do you have so many questions? why do you have 这么 many questions? why is it so expensive ? why is it 这么 expensive ?

You've seen it in many contexts as it is such a common (这么常见的) word in Chinese. The most basic meaning is "so/such", you are so smart (这么聪明), can you get it? On the other hand, sometimes it could be also understood as "this way". Can you understand if I explain it this way (我这么说，你明白吗)？

some examples: 1. so, high level or degree. 这口井这么深啊! The well is so deep. (much deeper than I thought.) 2.like this。这张桌子原来就这么放的。The desk was put like this before. 3.a way to show how。那句子应该这么译. That sentence should be translated thin way.

1. =this(adv). /so(adv.) used as an adv. to indicate to a high degree sth. is in an aspect . we always put it before adj. or adv. eg. 这道题这么难，我做不出来。=The question is this difficult, I can't work it out. 不要跑这么快。Don't run this fast. 2.=this way(adv.) to indicate the way you do sth. we always put it before verb. eg.不要这么做。dont' do it this way. 不要这么跟我说话。don't talk to me this way.
