Definition
提示 (tí shì) means 'to remind' or 'to point out as a reminder' — it often involves giving a cue, hint, or prompt to help someone remember or notice something. It differs from 提醒 (tí xǐng), which is more direct and urgent, like 'to warn' or 'to alert'; 提示 is gentler and more about providing information or a clue. Use 提示 for signs, prompts, or suggestions, and 提醒 for personal reminders or warnings.
