How it's used

Focuses on the active process of restoring a damaged relationship rather than just being on good terms. It often implies a deliberate effort or a formal step taken to end a period of conflict or coldness between parties. While it can apply to individuals, it is frequently used in political or diplomatic contexts to describe mending ties between groups or nations.

Common phrases

cung4重sau1修gau6舊hou2好

to bury the hatchet and restore an old friendship

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 修理, which is used for fixing physical objects like machines or furniture. Using 修好 for a broken phone or car will sound confusing to native speakers, as it strictly refers to interpersonal or diplomatic relations.
