打算 (dǎsuàn) and 计划 (jìhuà) are both verbs as well as nouns that mean "to plan" or "to intend." 打算 is used in informal speech and writing, whereas 计划 is used in formal situations. A key difference between these words is 打算 expresses that a thought or intent to do something exists, but concrete steps or a firm action plan has not yet been finalized, whereas 计划 expresses a thought or idea to do something which not only exists, but also already has a concrete action plan in place to carry out the plan.

打算 is common in spoken Chinese for talking about vague plans

This is exactly the word you want when talking about fluid, indefinite weekend plans. You don't have a detailed itinerary with priority rankings for your weekend activities, right? And everything could change last minute, right? Use 打算.

Example Sentences

  • 你 今天 晚上 打算 做 什么?Nǐ jīntiān wǎnshang dǎsuàn zuò shénme?What are you planning to do tonight?
  • 明天 她 打算 去 看 医生。íngtiān tā dǎsuàn qù kàn yīshēng.Tomorrow she plans to go to the doctor.

  • 明年 我们 打算 换 一 批 新 的 供应商 。Míngnián wǒmen dǎsuàn huàn yī pī xīn de gōngyìngshāng.We are planning to get a new batch of suppliers next year.

计划 often involves long-term future goals
