JLPT N3

～において

In, at, regarding (formal)

Structure

Noun + において

How it works

This grammar point specifies a location, time, or area in which something happens or exists, or the context to which something pertains. It adds a more formal tone compared to the particle 『で』.

Examples

この会議において重要な決定がなされました。

Important decisions were made at this conference.

Common mistakes

Overusing it in casual conversation where 『で』 would be more natural.

Tip

Remember it as a more formal alternative to 『で』, especially in professional contexts.
