<p>Could anyone please tell me how these characters mean "Of course!"/"That goes without saying!" when placed together?</p>

<p>Because when it's translated one by one, the characters don't seem to correlate to one another at all.</p>

<pre><code>那 : that
还 : still
用 : use
说 : speak
</code></pre>

<p>I'm just curious though.</p>

那还用说！ means "**not even deserves to mention it**", implying ***something is very obvious and no need to address it or put it on the table***.

Stretch a bit:

**那**：that thing

**还用**（equal to 不用）：not necessary to

**说**：speak, mention
