How it's used
Primarily used in formal or professional contexts, such as business reports, academic discussions, or job interviews. It carries a sense of looking forward to long term developments rather than just immediate hopes. While it functions as a noun, it can also be used as a verb meaning to look forward to or to forecast.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual conversation to describe simple wishes or personal desires, as it sounds overly stiff and bureaucratic. For everyday talk about what you hope will happen, use 諗住 or 希望 instead.
