多于

多于 means 'more than' in English, used to indicate a quantity or amount that exceeds a specified number or limit. It is commonly used in comparisons and to express excess.

The character 多 (duō) means 'many' or 'more,' while 于 (yú) functions as a preposition meaning 'than' or 'to.' Together, they form a comparative structure that emphasizes an exceeding amount.

多于 is often used in contexts such as statistics, measurements, and everyday comparisons. For example, it can be used to describe how many people attended an event, how much time was spent on a task, or how much something costs. It is an essential expression for making comparisons in Chinese.
