決定 (jué dìng): “to decide” in Chinese

你看，你已經決定了。如果你決定了，就打電話。

nǐ kàn nǐ yǐ jīng jué dìng le rú guǒ nǐ jué dìng le jiù dǎ diàn huà

See? You've already decided. If you've decided, then make the call.

小雨決定直接去問陳阿公。可是他家的門關著，她敲了三次，裡面一點聲音也沒有。

Xiǎoyǔ jué dìng zhí jiē qù wèn Chén Āgōng kě shì tā jiā de mén guān zhe tā qiāo le sān cì lǐ miàn yì diǎn shēng yīn yě méi yǒu

Xiaoyu decided to go straight to Grandpa Chen. But his door was shut; she knocked three times, and there wasn't a sound from inside.

小美點點頭，王老師卻搖搖頭，決定跟她講一個古代的故事。

Xiǎoměi diǎn diǎn tóu Wáng lǎoshī què yáo yáo tóu juédìng gēn tā jiǎng yí gè gǔdài de gùshi

Xiaomei nodded, but Teacher Wang shook his head instead, deciding to tell her an ancient story.

小美聽完，把課本闔上，深呼吸一口氣，決定先從第一頁慢慢讀起。

Xiǎoměi tīng wán bǎ kèběn hé shàng shēn hūxī yì kǒu qì juédìng xiān cóng dì yī yè mànman dú qǐ

After hearing this, Xiaomei closed her textbook, took a deep breath, and decided to start reading slowly from page one instead.

佳佳嘆了一口氣，說這讓她想起以前聽過的一個古老故事，決定講給阿哲聽。

Jiājiā tàn le yì kǒu qì shuō zhè ràng tā xiǎngqǐ yǐqián tīng guò de yí gè gǔlǎo gùshi juédìng jiǎng gěi Āzhé tīng

Jiajia sighed and said this reminded her of an old story she'd once heard, and decided to tell it to Azhe.
