Mimi Kara Oboeru N4 Grammar: 64. こんな / そんな / あんな + 名詞
Here is Japanese N4 grammar study material taken from the Mimi Kara Oboeru N4 textbook.

こんな / そんな / あんな + 名詞

This pattern has 3 meanings:
1. Giving an example:
(美容院の人に雑誌を見せて)「こんな髪型にしたいんですが」
(Miyōin no hito ni zasshi o misete) `kon’na kamigata ni shitai ndesuga’
(showing a magazine to someone at a beauty salon) I would like this hairstyle.

2. Showing contempt:
あんな人、大きらい。もう絶対会いたくない。
An’na hito, dai kirai. Mō zettai aitakunai.
I really hate people like that. I never want to see them again.

3. Referring to what the other person is talking about:
「あした、試験があるそうよ。知っていた?」「ううん、そんな話、聞いていない よ」
`Ashita, shiken ga aru sō yo. Shitteita?’`Ūn, son’na-wa, kiite inai yo’
I hear there is a test tomorrow. Did you know? – No, I have not heard anything about that.
