How to use 达成

达成 is a fairly formal verb used with abstract goals or outcomes, most often 协议 (xiéyì, agreement), 共识 (gòngshí, consensus), 目标 (mùbiāo, goal) and 交易 (jiāoyì, deal). Example: 双方达成了协议。(Shuāngfāng dáchéng le xiéyì.) Both sides reached an agreement.

达 (dá) means to reach or arrive, and 成 (chéng) means to complete or become. When you reach the point where something is complete, you have 达成 it.

Common mistake: Learners often use 达成 for finishing a task, as in 达成作业. That should be 完成作业 (wánchéng zuòyè). 达成 goes with agreements, consensus and goals, while 完成 goes with tasks and work.
