How to use 大会
大会 is used for large, formal gatherings such as party congresses, shareholder meetings, sports events, and conferences. It often follows a descriptive word, as in 运动会 style names or 全体大会. Example: 明天学校要开大会。(Míngtiān xuéxiào yào kāi dàhuì.) The school is holding a general assembly tomorrow.
大 (dà) means big and 会 (huì) means meeting. A big meeting is a 大会, a general assembly or convention.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 大会 for any ordinary meeting at work. For a normal meeting, say 会议 (huìyì) or just 开会 (kāihuì), and keep 大会 for big, formal events. Also note that 会 here is huì, not kuài as in 会计 (kuàijì).
