<![CDATA[The Chinese language has unique grammatical characteristics. Chinese grammar encompasses two main aspects: morphology and syntax. Morphology in Chinese includes many elements, including words that are similar or alike, known as synonyms. In studying synonyms, students often encounter difficulties. One of these challenges is the use of the words "yi wei" and "ren wei." To analyze in depth the errors in the use of the synonyms "yi wei" and "ren wei," this study involves students from the Mandarin Language Education Program, Class of 2022, at Tanjungpura University, using tests and questionnaires as methods. The test results show that students have not mastered the words "yi wei" and "ren wei" well, with error rates of 50.55% and 45.93%, respectively. For "yi wei," the most dominant error is in word order, reaching 74.07%. Similarly, for "ren wei," the most dominant error is also in word order, at 55.56%. The results of the questionnaire indicate that generalization of target language rules and errors in teaching methods are the main factors causing the students' mistakes. Therefore, it is recommended that to improve students' understanding of the use of "yi wei" and "ren wei," targeted teaching should be reinforced, more practical language application exercises in real situations should be included, teaching methods should be improved to reduce errors, and students should be assisted in overcoming the influence of their mother tongue interference.]]>
