How it's used
Carries a formal and slightly grand tone, often appearing in news reports, political speeches, or community slogans. It emphasizes collective spirit and shared purpose rather than just simple cooperation. It is rarely used in casual, one-on-one conversation between friends.
Examples
As long as we are all united, we can definitely overcome the difficulties.
If we are all united, what else can't we handle?
Related words
Common phrases
When people are united, their strength can cut through metal.
Common mistake
Avoid using this in everyday casual settings, such as asking friends to help move furniture or finish a simple task, as it sounds overly dramatic and stiff.
