Alright, so 'careless' is a word we use to describe when someone is not paying attention or not being careful. It's like when you're doing something and you don't really think about what you're doing, so you might make mistakes or not do it very well. It's kind of like if you're walking and not paying attention, you might trip over something. That's being careless.

Another way to think of it is like when you're playing a game and you're not really focused on the rules or how to win, so you end up making mistakes or not doing your best. That's also being careless.

So, 'careless' is when someone isn't paying attention or being careful about what they're doing. It's kind of like not putting in the effort to do something well. Does that make sense?
