The Chinese word 在于 (zài yú) is a preposition that means "in", "on", or "at". It is composed of two characters: 在 (zài), which means "in", and 于 (yú), which means "at" or "on". The word 在于 is often used to indicate the location of something, but it can also be used to indicate the reason for something or the basis for something.For example, the sentence 他在于北京工作 (tā zài běijīng gōngzuò) means "He works in Beijing". The sentence 他在于生病所以不能来 (tā zài yú shēngbìng suǒyǐ bùnéng lái) means "He is sick so he can't come". The sentence 他在于努力学习所以取得了好成绩 (tā zài yú nǔlì xuéxí suǒyǐ qǔdéle hǎochéngjì) means "He studied hard so he got good grades".The word 在于 is a very common word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage.
