What is frail?

Frail means something is very weak or not strong enough to handle much. It's like when your toy car breaks because it’s been bumped too many times, it can't take the rough play anymore.

Think of a frail building, like an old house with shaky walls. If you tap on it gently, it might just creak, but if you give it a good push, boom, part of it could fall down! That’s because the house isn’t strong enough to handle more force.

A frail person is someone who gets tired easily or breaks down quickly. Imagine your grandma after she walks a long way, she might sit down and say, “I’m feeling very frail today.” It’s like her body needs a little rest, just like the old house needs time to recover.

So next time you see something that can't take much pressure or movement, remember: it's frail!
