How to Say ‘Pay attention to what’ in Simplified Chinese
注意什么
zhù yì shén me
[joo ee shuhn muh]
💬 Usage Tip: In Chinese, question words usually stay in the normal statement order, so [注意什么] is literally "pay attention to what," not "what should I pay attention to?" Use the same pattern with other verbs: [买什么] "what to buy," [看什么] "what to look at."
