场合

The Chinese word 场合 (chǎnghé) is composed of two characters: 场 (chǎng) and 合 (hé). 场 originally meant "a place where people gather for a specific purpose", and 合 means "to come together" or "to fit". When combined, 场合 literally means "a place where people come together for a specific purpose".场合 is often used to refer to a particular situation or context. For example, you might say 工作场合 (gōngzuò chǎnghé) to refer to the workplace, or 学习场合 (xuéxí chǎnghé) to refer to a learning environment. It can also be used to refer to a social event or gathering, such as a party or a meeting.场合 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used frequently in both spoken and written Chinese.
