Check it out
의미: An invitation to look at or examine something, or a way to get someone's attention.
'Check it out' is the universal American way to direct someone's attention to something. It can introduce anything from a cool find ('Check out this video') to a new restaurant ('You should check it out'). It's casual, direct, and implies the thing is worth the person's time.
