me

那 (nà) means 'that' and 么 (me) is a question particle or a way to form questions, but together they form the adverb 'then' or 'so', often used to indicate a conclusion or transition in a conversation.

The character 那 (nà) originally meant 'that' and was used to point to something distant, while 么 (me) is a suffix used in questions or to soften statements. When combined, they create a word that indicates a logical progression or result.
