Definition
征求 (zhēng qiú) means 'to solicit, to seek' — used when actively asking for opinions, feedback, or volunteers. Its close sibling 征集 (zhēng jí) also involves collecting, but 征集 focuses on gathering concrete items (signatures, materials) or recruiting people, while 征求 is about requesting input or suggestions. 反馈 (fǎn kuì) and 回馈 (huí kuì) refer to giving feedback, not seeking it.
