How it's used
Carries a strong bureaucratic or official tone, typically appearing in legal, administrative, or formal correspondence. It implies a structured, collaborative process between distinct entities rather than casual teamwork. You will rarely hear this in casual conversation unless someone is mimicking formal language or discussing workplace procedures.
Examples
We need to coordinate with the relevant departments to handle this matter.
Are you going to coordinate with the police to conduct the investigation?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the common verb 會, which means to meet or can. Using 會同 in a casual setting like meeting a friend for coffee sounds extremely unnatural and overly stiff.
