When to use 由于 + Noun for “Due to …”

由于 can work as a preposition meaning “due to”, “because of” or “thanks to”. In this use it is followed by a noun phrase, not a full clause: 由于天气原因 “due to the weather”, 由于大家的努力 “thanks to everyone’s hard work”. The whole 由于 phrase comes before the main verb, either at the start of the sentence (followed by a comma) or right after the subject: 由于天气原因，比赛推迟了 or 比赛由于大雨推迟了. It sounds a little formal, so you hear it in notices, announcements, reports and speeches.

आम गलतियाँ

  • Keep the 由于 phrase before the main verb: 由于大雨，比赛推迟了 is the standard order. When the reason comes after the result, 因为 is the usual choice: 比赛推迟了，因为下大雨了.
  • With a short noun such as 天气 or 时间, add 原因 or 关系: 由于天气原因 and 由于时间关系 sound more natural and complete than 由于天气 or 由于时间 alone.
  • Don’t use 为了 for a cause: 为了 gives a purpose (“in order to”), while 由于 gives the reason something happened.
