How it's used
Carries a warm and festive tone, often implying a special occasion or a long-awaited reunion rather than just a casual hangout. It is frequently used in contexts involving holidays, celebrations, or family dinners where the atmosphere is intentionally joyous. While it functions as a verb, it is often used in formal or semi-formal settings to describe the act of coming together.
Examples
It's rare for us to gather like this, we must have another drink tonight!
When are you all gathering happily again?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for mundane or routine meetings, as it specifically highlights the happiness and emotional significance of the gathering. It is not a direct substitute for general words like 見面 or 聚會.
