I was about to leave home when I suddenly realized I forgot my phone! Let’s learn how to say “to realize / to notice” in Chinese.

发现 （fā xiàn)

Hello，大家好，我是 Janine。Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.

今天早上我出门的时候，走到门口，Jīntiān zǎoshang wǒ chūmén de shíhou, zǒu dào ménkǒu,

我发现忘带手机了！Wǒ fāxiàn wàng dài shǒujī le!

我赶紧回家拿手机，才出门。Wǒ gǎnjǐn huí jiā ná shǒujī, cái chūmén.

幸好我走得不远。Xìnghǎo wǒ zǒu de bù yuǎn.
