How it's used
Carries a formal tone often associated with bureaucratic, legal, or corporate procedures. It implies a thorough review process rather than a casual agreement. In everyday speech, people often use 批准 instead when the context is less about the examination process and more about granting permission.
Examples
The manager has approved my leave application.
Has the company approved your proposal yet?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual requests between friends, as it sounds overly bureaucratic and stiff. Use 批准 or 應承 for informal situations.
