How it's used
Used primarily in formal or professional settings to emphasize the collective participation of a group. It carries a slightly more serious tone than the more common colloquial alternatives like 大家 or 所有人. You will frequently encounter this in workplace announcements or event logistics.
Examples
Everyone must attend the meeting today.
Did you all go out to eat?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual social contexts, as it can sound overly bureaucratic or stiff. Use 大家 when speaking to friends or family to maintain a natural, friendly tone.
