How it's used
Formal settings like board meetings or legislative sessions are the primary domain for this term. It carries a sense of official finality that distinguishes it from casual decision making. Use this when referring to the outcome of a structured group deliberation rather than a personal choice.
Examples
The committee has already passed a resolution on this proposal.
Have you finished the meeting? Have you decided how to handle it?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for simple personal decisions, as it sounds overly bureaucratic and stiff in everyday conversation. For personal or informal group choices, stick to 決定.
