值得注意的是

You usually place this phrase at the very start of a sentence. It acts as a bridge between what you just said and a new, important point. Think of it as a signpost on a highway. You say the phrase, pause for a tiny second, and then deliver your key information. It works perfectly in both professional emails and thoughtful conversations. It makes your logic feel structured and easy to follow.

Use this when you are in a meeting and want to point out a specific trend. It is great for explaining rules to a friend, like a hidden fee at a restaurant. You can use it when analyzing a movie or a book. If you are texting a group about travel plans, use it to highlight a deadline. It makes you sound smart, organized, and very clear. It is a staple for anyone reaching an intermediate or advanced level.

Do not use this for very basic or emotional statements. Saying "It is worth noting that I am hungry" sounds like a robot trying to be human. Avoid it during a heated argument with a partner. It can sound too cold or overly analytical when feelings are involved. Also, do not use it in every single sentence. If everything is highlighted, then nothing is important. Save it for the truly "worthy" moments.

This expression reflects the modern Chinese shift toward logical and precise communication. While traditional Chinese can be very poetic and indirect, modern discourse—especially in business and media—values clarity. You will hear news anchors and professors use this constantly. It shows that the speaker has analyzed the information before presenting it. It is a hallmark of an educated, modern speaking style.

You might hear 值得一提的是, which means "it is worth mentioning." This is slightly more casual and less intense. Another version is 要注意的是, which sounds more like a direct warning or instruction. If you want to be even more formal, you can use 尤为重要的是. That means "what is especially important is." Each variation helps you fine-tune how much pressure you want to put on the listener's attention.
