In English this is a bit like "of," where you would say, "<em>of</em> all of my friends, you are the most loyal." Also, 当中 can be used to express being in the middle of an activity or process that is fairly formal in nature e.g being in the middle of negotiating rather than being in the middle of talking on the phone.</p> <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2> <div class="jiegou"> <p>Group + 当中</p> <p>Process + 当中</p> </div> <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> <div class="liju"> <ul> <li>你 是 我 所有 朋友 <em>当中</em> 最 聪明 的 一 个。<span class="trans">Of all of my friends, you are the smartest one.</span></li> <li>在 这 一百 个 选手 <em>当中</em> 我 表现 得 最 出色。<span class="trans">Among these one hundred participants, my performance was the most outstanding.</span></li> <li>这 个 工程 还在 计划 <em>当中</em>。<span class="trans">This engineering project is still in the planning stage.</span></li> </ul> </div> <p>When used to express "among" 当中 is a little like <a href= ""Within_(it/them)"_as_"qizhong"" title= "wikilink">其中</a>.
