〜において・における: “In terms of X”

Introduction

Heya!

As you learn more grammar, you'll start to notice that a lot of the points are becoming less conversational, and more likely to be used in a newspaper, or in the news. This is one such, "news-y" point!

So, even if your main goals don't involve the Japanese newspaper, definitely pay attention, because there's nothing more embarrassing than having to nod along like you understand what the news anchor is saying to try and impress your date, when in reality you were lost and zoned out from the very beginning.

Not that that's something I've ever done...

〜において・における: A formal で???
