Strokes10Frequency#2952DifficultyHard
Cultural Note

In Chinese culture, formal meetings often carry significant weight, especially in business and politics, where respect and hierarchy are paramount. 会见 underscores the importance of official interactions in maintaining relationships and conducting negotiations.

Memory Tip

Think of 会 (huì) as a gathering or meeting, represented by the radical for 'meeting' (会). The second character 见 (jiàn) means 'to see.' Imagine a scene where two people, both dressed in formal attire, are seeing each other for a significant discussion, thus forming the word 'to meet.'

AI Study Notes for 会见

Quick Contrast

会面 (huìmiàn) vs 会见 (huìjiàn): use 会见 for formal meetings, while 会面 can be more casual.

Usage Notes

会见 is generally used in formal contexts and should be avoided in casual conversations. Common collocations include '会见领导' (meet with leaders) or '会见朋友' (meet with friends, though less formal). Be careful to use the correct tone; the first tone of 会 and the fourth tone of 见 is essential to convey the correct meaning.

HSK Study Tips

This word may not be explicitly listed in the HSK vocabulary, but it relates to HSK Level 4 and above, where formal communication terms are introduced. Students should focus on the contexts where formal meetings occur and practice using 会见 in sentences about business or diplomatic interactions.

Common Mistakes

Learners often confuse 会见 with informal terms like 见面. For example, saying '我和他会见在咖啡店' (I meet him at the coffee shop) is incorrect; it should be '我和他在咖啡店见面.'
