そういう

そういう is a demonstrative adjective used to refer to something that has been mentioned or is understood in the context, often with a nuance of “that kind of …” or “such ….” It functions as a modifier before a noun to classify or describe something in a way that the listener recognizes from the situation. It can also stand in phrases like そういうふうに to describe actions done in that manner, or そういうこと to talk about that kind of thing or situation. Use it for general references to opinions, behavior, situations, or types that you and your listener both know about. In everyday conversation, そういう is common when you are comparing or contrasting with what you consider typical or expected.
