How to Write "Only in a Place" in Chinese

This phrase is zhi zai. Zhi. Zai. Remember "zhi" means "only." So here, it's definitely not a measure word. It means "only." And then "zai." "Zai" means "at, in." So, zhi zai means "it is here" or somewhere. It is at somewhere. So, for example, if we say, "Zhi zai shan zhong." Remember, "shan" means "mountain." "Zhong" means "the center" or "inside." So if we would say, "Zhi zai shan zhong," it means, "It?s only inside the mountain." So zhi zai - after zhi zai, you can put everything here. So, zhi zai Zhong guo. Zhong guo, remember, "China." That means "only in China." Or, zhi zai Boston. "Zhi zai Boston" means "only in Boston."
