欢聚 (huānjù, "joyfully gather") joins 欢 (huān, "joy") with 聚 (jù, "gather"), making happiness part of the meaning instead of an accidental mood around the gathering.
Usage tips
- In conversational Chinese, this verb fits reunions, dinners, and holiday celebrations better than formal business sessions, where a neutral meeting verb is more natural.
