The Mandarin Chinese verb '避免 (bìmiǎn)' is used to describe the act of avoiding or preventing something undesirable from occurring. It is similar to applying the English word 'avoid' in sentences. The object being avoided often follows this verb, and the entire action forms the predicate of the sentence.
