Definition
机遇 (jī yù) is a formal noun meaning 'opportunity' or 'favorable circumstance', often used in writing or serious contexts. It is more specific and weighty than the everyday 机会 (jī huì), and unlike 时机 (shí jī) which emphasizes 'timing', 机遇 focuses on the opportunity itself as a favorable event.
