- To welcome or receive someone: bound in 欢迎 (huānyíng, welcome) and 迎接 (yíngjiē, to go meet/greet arriving guests).
- 迎接 implies physically going out to receive an arrival: 到机场迎接客人 (dào jīchǎng yíngjiē kèrén) go to the airport to meet the guests.
- 迎面 (yíngmiàn) means head-on/coming toward you: 迎面走来一个人 (yíngmiàn zǒulái yí ge rén) someone came walking straight toward us.
- Note the sense flip in 迎合 (yínghé, to pander to/cater to), which carries a negative flavor of currying favor.
