How it's used

Focuses primarily on the mechanical or systematic performance of machines, software, or celestial bodies. While it describes the process of functioning, it is less common for describing human activities or abstract business operations where 運作 is preferred. It carries a slightly more technical or formal tone compared to everyday verbs like 行.

Common mistake

Learners often use this for human activities, but it sounds unnatural when describing people working or moving. Use 運作 for business or organizational processes, and reserve 運行 for technical, mechanical, or astronomical contexts.
