How it's used
Focuses on the social aspect of strengthening bonds through shared activities rather than just hanging out. It is often used in the context of organized events like club meetings or group outings. In a romantic context, it specifically refers to group dating where people meet to see if there is a spark.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 聚會, which is a more general term for any gathering. 聯誼 carries a stronger implication of building or maintaining a relationship, whereas 聚會 can be purely functional or casual.
