Definition
推延 is a formal verb meaning 'to postpone' or 'to put off,' similar to 推迟 (tuīchí) but more literary and often used in official or written contexts. It can be used transitively (推延会议) or with 到 to indicate a new time. Unlike 推迟, 推延 is less common in everyday speech and carries a slightly more bureaucratic tone.
