📝 Conjugation Notes
The pattern itself does not conjugate. It must always follow a Noun (N + において / N + における + N). において is the standard form, and における is the attributive/adnominal form.
🔊 Pronunciation Tips
Pronounce the “o” (お) clearly. The focus should be on the formal register of the entire phrase, maintaining a smooth, even tone.
🧠 Memory Tips
Think of “において” as a stiff, formal version of “at” or “in” used for official events. The “る” in “における” reminds you that it’s acting like a verb/adjective (modifying a noun) just before the noun it describes.
