How it's used
Focuses on the spirit of collective joy and bonding rather than just the act of eating or meeting. It is almost exclusively used for organized events like school parties, office gatherings, or community celebrations. You will rarely hear it used for casual hangouts between two or three close friends.
Examples
The company is having a party next week, will you go?
We old classmates haven't had a get-together for a long time.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual social meetings between friends, as it sounds too formal and suggests a planned, group-oriented event. Use 聚會 or 出去玩 instead for everyday social plans.
