How to use 聚会
聚会 works as a noun for a casual party or gathering, and as a verb meaning to get together. It usually describes friends, classmates, or family meeting socially, not formal business meetings. Example: 我们周末有个同学聚会。(Wǒmen zhōumò yǒu gè tóngxué jùhuì.) We have a classmate get-together this weekend.
聚 (jù) means to gather, and 会 (huì) means to meet. Picture friends gathering together to meet, and you have a 聚会, a get-together.
Common mistake: Learners often use 聚会 for a work meeting, but that is 开会 (kāihuì) or 会议 (huìyì). Also, 聚 is fourth tone jù, so do not say it like 举 (jǔ) with a third tone.
