Questions & Answers about shēnqǐngcáiliào zài zhèlǐ.

What does 申请材料 mean exactly?

申请材料 means application materials or application documents.

• 申请 = to apply / application
• 材料 = materials, documents, stuff needed for something

In this sentence, 申请材料 refers to the documents or paperwork needed for an application.

Why is there no 是 in this sentence?

Because this sentence is talking about location, and in Chinese, location is usually expressed with 在, not 是.

So:

• 申请材料在这里。 = The application materials are here.

Using 是 here would sound unnatural for simple location.

A useful pattern is:

A 在 B
= A is at/in/on B

So here:

• 申请材料 = the application materials
• 在 = are located at
• 这里 = here

What does 在 mean here?
