Definition
议事 means 'to discuss official business'. It is a separable verb (离合词): the verb 议 and the object 事 can be split, allowing insertion of time, measure words, or the specific topic between them — for example, 议了一个小时的事 ('discussed matters for an hour') or 议什么事 ('discuss what matter'). When not separated, the two syllables stay together as a single verb.
