Definition
和好 (hé hǎo) means 'to reconcile' or 'to make up' after a quarrel — it focuses on the two sides restoring their personal relationship. 和解 (hé jiě) is more formal and often used for official disputes or legal settlements; 和睦 (hé mù) describes an ongoing state of harmony, not the act of making up.
