碰见

• 拼音: pèng jiàn
• 汉字拆解: 碰 (pèng) — to bump, to touch; 见 (jiàn) — to see, to meet

含义

To run into; to meet by chance. Describes unexpectedly seeing or meeting someone.

Very similar to 碰到 but specifically used for encountering people rather than situations or problems. It emphasises the visual aspect of the chance meeting — you see someone you know unexpectedly. Slightly more colloquial than 遇见.
