How it's used
Reserved for formal contexts such as news reports, official ceremonies, or professional announcements. It carries a sense of prestige and accomplishment that goes beyond simply getting or winning something. Using it in casual conversation about everyday objects or minor achievements sounds overly dramatic or sarcastic.
Examples
He won the Best Actor award this year.
The company has been awarded many international certifications.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for mundane items or trivial wins, as it is strictly for formal honors, awards, or high-level recognition. It is not a direct substitute for the common verb 攞 when talking about picking up or winning something informal.
