么

me

suffix, used to form interrogative 什麼|什么[shen2 me5], what?, indefinite 這麼|这么[zhe4 me5] thus, etc

variant of 麼|么[me5]

么 — the suffix particle for questions and indefinites

么 was borrowed purely for its sound to serve as a grammatical suffix; its stroke components carry no meaning here. It attaches to question words and demonstratives to mark indefiniteness or inquiry.
