When to use it
In Chinese offices, 开会 (kāi huì) literally means 'open a meeting' and is the default verb for anything from a quick standup to a board meeting. Notice the time comes BEFORE the verb; Chinese puts time words first, unlike English. Most Mainland offices run on 24-hour time in writing (especially on DingTalk 钉钉), but in speech people just say 十点 and you infer AM/PM from context. If you need to be explicit, say 上午十点 (morning) or 下午十点 (evening).
