Collocations and patterns

Nuances

When you use 提出, it implies an active effort to bring something to attention or formally submit it. It is more formal than simply saying '' (to say) or '' (to ask). Avoid confusing 提出 with (to hand in), which focuses more on the physical act of handing over rather than the act of proposing or raising.

Tone and register

Suitable for formal and semi-formal speech and writing. Often used in business, academic, and official contexts.
