How it's used
Often used in formal or organizational contexts, this word carries a sense of strategic planning and collective effort. While it can apply to small groups, it frequently implies a large scale operation or a significant campaign. It is less common in casual, one-on-one requests where simpler verbs like 叫 or 搵 are preferred.
Examples
