How it's used
Primarily used in the context of professional sports or business franchises, this term carries a formal and professional weight. It is rarely used for casual social groups or joining a simple club, where words like 加入 or 參加 would be more natural. When discussing sports, it implies a formal contract or official transfer process.
Examples
Which club is he joining next season?
This star player has officially joined our team.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual situations like joining a friend's group or a hobby class, as it sounds overly serious and business-like. Use 加入 instead for general contexts.
