How it's used
Focuses on formal or professional interactions, such as interviews or high level meetings. Unlike the casual term 見, which can mean anything from bumping into a friend to a quick chat, this implies a structured, planned encounter with a clear objective. It is frequently used in business or administrative contexts where one party holds a position of authority or is evaluating the other.
Examples
The manager interviewed several job applicants today.
When will you meet with that important client?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual social meetings with friends or family, as it sounds overly stiff and bureaucratic. Use 見面 or 聚會 instead for informal social gatherings.
