How it is used
- To benefit/profit from something - 我得益于老师的指导 (wǒ déyì yú lǎoshī de zhǐdǎo) I benefited from my teacher's guidance.
- Almost always with 于 to mark the source; 得益于 is the fixed pattern, more written than spoken 受益 (shòuyì) which works similarly.
- Emphasizes what you gained thanks to a cause, not just enjoying something; formal, common in essays and reports.
