How it's used

Focuses on the active process of building a social connection rather than just meeting someone for the first time. It often implies a deliberate effort to expand one's social circle or establish a formal friendship. While it sounds slightly more formal than just saying 識朋友, it is still frequently used in everyday conversation to describe the act of networking or finding new companions.

Common phrases

to make friends

git3結gaau1交syun2損jau5友

to fall in with bad company

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe casual encounters where you simply learn someone's name. It implies a deeper level of interaction or a conscious decision to develop a relationship, so it sounds strange if used for a brief, one-off meeting.
