Definition
碰头会 is a noun meaning a short, informal meeting where people gather quickly to exchange information or coordinate tasks. It often applies to daily sync-ups or quick briefings at work. Although the gloss 'tête-à-tête' suggests a private two-person meeting, the Chinese term is broader and can involve small groups.
