How to use 确立
确立 is a formal verb used for setting up abstract things like goals, systems, positions, relationships or principles. It is common in news, speeches and written reports. Example: 公司确立了新的发展目标。(Gōngsī quèlì le xīn de fāzhǎn mùbiāo.) The company established new development goals.
确 (què) means firm or certain, as in 确定 (quèdìng), and 立 (lì) means to stand up, as in 立刻 (lìkè). To 确立 is to make something stand firmly, so it becomes established.
Common mistake: Learners often use 确立 for physical things like buildings or businesses. For those, use 建立 (jiànlì) or 成立 (chénglì) instead. Also keep the tones straight: què is fourth tone, not quē (first tone, meaning lacking).
