至于

至于 — as for / as to (topic shift)

Pattern

+
( ) can be left out · other words may come before, between and after

How it works

至于 opens a sentence to shift to a further topic — "as for …", "as to …". It raises something related but separate from what was just said and then comments on it.

Examples

我只负责设计,至于施工,由别人负责。
Wǒ zhǐ fùzé shèjì, zhìyú shīgōng, yóu biérén fùzé.
I'm only in charge of design; as for construction, others handle it.
他会来的,至于什么时候,我也不清楚。
Tā huì lái de, zhìyú shénme shíhou, wǒ yě bù qīngchu.
He'll come; as for when, I'm not sure either.
至于价格,我们可以再商量。
Zhìyú jiàgé, wǒmen kěyǐ zài shāngliang.
As for the price, we can discuss it further.
