提示

The Chinese word 提示 (tǐshì) is composed of two characters: 提 (tí) and 示 (shì). 提 originally meant "to lift" or "to raise," but in this context, it has the extended meaning of "to bring up" or "to mention." 示, on the other hand, means "to show" or "to indicate." Together, these two characters form the word 提示, which literally means "to bring up and show" or "to bring to someone's attention." In modern Chinese, 提示 is commonly used as a verb meaning "to remind" or "to prompt," and it can also be used as a noun meaning "a reminder" or "a prompt." For example, you might use 提示 to remind someone of an upcoming appointment or to provide a hint or clue to help someone solve a problem.
