How it's used

Used primarily in formal or written contexts to describe a gathering of people or things, often implying a high concentration of quality or status. While it appears in speech, it carries a slightly elevated or literary tone compared to everyday verbs like 聚埋. It is almost exclusively used to describe groups of people with specific talents or high-end establishments.

Examples

This restaurant is crowded with experts, everyone is very talented.
That place is crowded with famous shops, you will definitely find what you like.

Common phrases

crowded with experts
crowded with famous shops

Common mistake

Learners often mistakenly use this to describe any crowd, such as a busy street or a queue, but it specifically implies a gathering of notable entities rather than just a large number of people.
