Collocations
'取笑' is often used with a person as the object, e.g., '别取笑他了' (Stop teasing him). Using it without an object requires context to specify who is being teased.
Common mistakes
'取笑' is a verb; unlike '笑话' (which can be a noun meaning 'joke'), it cannot be used as a noun. For example, don't say *这是一个取笑 (this is a tease); say 这是一个笑话.
