How it's used

Refers specifically to a collective of individuals who share a sense of belonging or mutual interaction. It is more formal than common words like 堆 or 班, which are used for casual gatherings or crowds. Use this when discussing sociological, professional, or academic circles rather than just a group of friends hanging out.

Common mistake

Learners often use this for any casual group of people, but it sounds overly academic or clinical in informal settings. For a casual group of friends, use 班 or 堆 instead.
