(specifier) that; the; those (colloquial pr. [nei4])

(pronoun) that (referring to persons, things or situations); then (in that case)

那 — the distal demonstrative, meaning 'that'

那 originally depicted a place name and was borrowed purely for its sound nà to mean 'that.' Its components don't explain the demonstrative meaning; the function came from phonetic borrowing, not semantic composition.
