Dear friends,

Here is the lesson today, we are going to learn few Chinese words about 注意(pay attention) and 安全(safety),etc. Please watch the instruction video as follow:

The first phrase contains two parts:

Typhoon is approaching,

颱風來了

颱風(typhoon) + 來(come) + 了(ending tag)

Please be careful.

請注意安全

請(please) + 注意(pay attention) + 安全(safety)

note, the Chinese character 了(le) is an ending tag of a sentence in modern Chinese, expressing "about to" or "already" for a verb.

and the phrase:

Please be careful.

請注意安全

Qǐng zhù-yì ān-quán

請(please) + 注意(pay attention) + 安全(safety)

You can use part of it, such as:

Attention, Please.

or the whole phrase as in our lesson:

Please be careful.
