How it's used
Focuses on the alignment of multiple parties, whether it is their actions, opinions, or goals. It carries a formal tone often found in meetings, news reports, or official statements rather than casual gossip. When used to describe people, it implies a collective harmony that overrides individual differences.
Examples
We all unanimously decided to go hiking tomorrow.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical objects that match or look the same, as that is better expressed by 相同 or 一樣. It is strictly reserved for abstract concepts like intent, opinion, or collective movement.
