How it's used
While 計劃 is standard, in casual conversation, people often use 諗定 or 安排 to describe the process of making plans. It functions as both a verb and a noun, but when used as a verb, it often implies a more formal or structured intention compared to just thinking about something.
Examples
What plans do you have for next week?
We have planned to go to Japan for a trip.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 計劃 with 打算. 打算 is more about a personal intention or a rough idea of what you might do, whereas 計劃 suggests a more concrete, step-by-step arrangement.
