### Adverb

按呢
* (Hokkien) like this; in this way; thus; so; as such; like so
    按呢做。 [Hokkien] ― Án-ne chò. [Pe̍h-ōe-jī] ― Do it like this.
    From: ?: anon., 二十、對台北 ê 嚮往 (Taiwanese short stories: "A trip from Taipei")
    sī-m̄-sī i pún-lâi to̍h án-ne [Pe̍h-ōe-jī]
    wasn't he always like this

#### Usage notes

* When used as an adverb, Hokkien 按呢 corresponds to Mandarin 這麼／这么 (zhème, “in this way”), but more in the sense of Mandarin 如此 (rúcǐ, “like this”). As such, Hokkien 按呢 can be placed at the end of a phrase, as can Mandarin 如此, whereas Mandarin 這麼／这么 must be followed by an adjective or verb.
