Usage notes

Collocations

买保险 is the common way to say 'buy insurance' rather than literal translations like 购买保险, though both are possible.

Common mistakes

保险 can mean 'to be sure' as a predicate, but learners often incorrectly use it with an object like a verb, e.g., *我保险他会来; use 我保证他会来 instead.
