How to use 有关
有关 often appears in the patterns 与/和……有关 (to be related to) and 有关 + noun (relevant, concerned), which is common in news and formal writing. Example: 这件事和他有关。(Zhè jiàn shì hé tā yǒuguān.) This matter has something to do with him.
有关 is built from 有 (yǒu, to have) and 关 (guān, connection, as in 关系 guānxi). To "have a connection" with something means it relates to or concerns that thing.
Common mistake: Learners often say 有关他 to mean "about him" at the start of a sentence. The natural form is 关于他 (guānyú tā), or 和他有关 after the subject. Also keep the full third tone on 有 (yǒu) and the first tone on 关 (guān). Do not let 关 slide into a neutral tone the way it does in 关系 (guānxi).
