How to say "it's opposite" in Chinese

在 (zài) means "at" or "in," and 对面 (duìmiàn) means "opposite side." Together, they form a locative phrase meaning "is opposite."

Use this when telling someone where a place is located, often followed by a landmark. For example, "在对面" can stand alone or be followed by a noun. English speakers might mistakenly add a verb like "is" in the middle, but in Chinese the structure is simply "在 + location."
