"Hình thành một tổ chức"

Translation: Form an organization

[vngdhuyen]

wouldn't "thành lập" be a better translation for form in this case?

[TehVanarch]

Thành lập is usually translated as 'to establish'. There is a difference in that 'to form' just means 'to take shape' while 'to establish' generally means more of 'to start/set up something' that's intended to be long-lasting.

Establish an organisation would be better here but they've chosen to use to form.

yeah you're right, thanks for clarifying. "to form" is indeed "hình thành", but "hình thành một tổ chức" still sounds weird to my ears haha
