This is the 2025th most frequent Chinese word.
邀
"Invite."
The word '邀' in this sentence is part of the compound '邀请', which means 'invite', indicating the action of requesting someone's presence.
我邀请朋友来家里吃饭。
I invited a friend to come to my house for dinner.
Here, '邀约' employs '邀' to emphasize an official or formal invitation.

In this context, '邀请' again combines '邀' with '请', here underlining the act of extending an invitation.
