Definition
推荐 (tuījiàn) means 'to recommend' a specific person or thing (a book, a restaurant), based on personal experience or judgment. It differs from 建议 (jiànyì), which focuses on suggesting a course of action ('suggest that you do something'), and from 引荐 (yǐnjiàn), which specifically means to formally recommend a person (e.g., for a job).
