Definition
常务 is a noun meaning 'routine affairs' or 'day-to-day business' — the ongoing, regular administrative tasks that keep an organization running. It often appears in compound titles like 常务副总理 ('executive vice premier') or 常务理事 ('executive council member'), where it signals a senior role responsible for daily operations. You won't use this word for personal errands; it's strictly institutional or organizational.
