Pattern

+ + + +
( ) can be left out · other words may come before, between and after

How it works

看你那样 comments on someone's appearance or behaviour with amused exasperation. Between close friends or family it is teasing; to a stranger it would be rude. An adjective may slot in: 看你那得意样.

Examples

看你那样,才跑两步就累了。
Kàn nǐ nà yàng, cái pǎo liǎng bù jiù lèi le.
Look at the state of you — two steps and you're tired.
瞧你那得意样儿!
Qiáo nǐ nà déyì yàngr!
Look how pleased with yourself you are!
