Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 'veamos' and 'a ver'?

They are very similar and often interchangeable when used as a filler phrase like 'Let's see...'. However, 'veamos' can also be a direct suggestion to a group ('Veamos una película' - 'Let's watch a movie'), while 'a ver' is not used this way. 'A ver' is more common as a way to get someone's attention or ask them to show you something ('A ver, déjame intentar' - 'Okay, let me try').

Is 'veamos' the same as 'vemos'?

No, they are different forms of the same verb 'ver' (to see). 'Vemos' is the regular present tense, stating a fact: 'Nosotros vemos la tele' (We watch TV). 'Veamos' is used for suggestions ('Let's watch TV') or in special grammatical situations after phrases of doubt or desire ('Espero que veamos la tele' - 'I hope that we watch TV').
