Definition
叮嘱 (dīng zhǔ) means to urge someone repeatedly with earnest concern, often from an elder. It is stronger than 嘱咐 (zhǔ fù), which is a milder 'urge earnestly'. Unlike 警告 (jǐng gào) or 告诫 (gào jiè), which warn or admonish, 叮嘱 is repeated caring advice.
verb
to urge repeatedlyto exhort earnestly
