How it's used
Use this verb when referring to the act of physically being in the same place as someone else. It implies a social or intentional encounter rather than just catching a glimpse of someone by chance. It is a separable verb, meaning you can insert aspect markers like 咗 or 過 directly between 見 and 面.
Examples
When can we finally meet up?
The two of them haven't met for a long time.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean meeting someone for the first time in a professional sense, as that is often expressed with phrases like 識朋友 or 第一次見. It is also not used for meeting a deadline or a requirement, where you should use 達到 or 滿足 instead.
