接见

接见 means to receive or greet someone, typically in a formal or official context. It implies a deliberate and structured meeting, often between individuals of high status or in professional settings.

The character 接 (jiē) means 'to meet' or 'to receive,' while 见 (jiàn) means 'to see' or 'to meet.' Together, they form a term that conveys the act of formally receiving someone, emphasizing the interaction between two parties.

接见 is commonly used in political, diplomatic, or organizational contexts. For example, a leader may 接见 foreign dignitaries. It carries a tone of respect and formality, and is not typically used for casual meetings. In daily conversation, it is more likely to appear in news reports or official documents.
