Expressing "from" with "cong... zhong"
| This article is a stub. Editors can help the Chinese Grammar Wiki by expanding it. |
"从……中" (cóng……zhōng) is just another way to express "from." You might be wondering how it differs from the very similar "从……到" (cóng……dào) which expresses "from" in relation to time and place. "从……中" (cóng……zhōng) is more versatile because you can use it to talk about things in a more general sense than just about time and place.
Structure
从 + thing + 中 + result
The result is added on the end to complete the idea, but actually expressing "from" comes from everything before the addition of the result.
