What is the difference between these two sentences?

> 気をつけてください  
>  ki wo tsukete kudasai

> 体に気をつけてください  
>  karada ni ki wo tsukete kudasai

I learned that "ki wo tsukete kudasai" means "take care", "be careful"? In a
different text the "karada ni" part was added.

question
grammar
ki wo tsukete kudasai / karada ni ki wo tsukete kudasai
気をつけてください (ki wo tsukete kudasai) on its own just means " please take care".
If you want to specify what you should take care of then that thing is marked
with に (ni).

So 体に気をつけてください (karada ni ki wo tsukete kudasai) is literally "take care of
your body", or more naturally just "look after yourself".

But the phrase can be used more generally e.g. 階段に気をつけてください (kaidan ni ki wo
tsukete kudasai) -> "Please watch out for the stairs".

Also note that I corrected 'karadi' to 'karada'. There is no 'di' sound in
Japanese. It was probably just a typo, but just making sure.
