📚 Etymology

The verb 'ver' comes directly from the Latin verb *vidēre*, meaning 'to see.' The 'vosotros' ending -is (as in 'veis') evolved from the Latin second-person plural ending of the verb.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'ver' considered irregular if 'veis' looks like a regular -er verb?

While 'veis' looks regular, the infinitive 'ver' is technically irregular because it lacks the written accent that the regular -er infinitive ending would require, and it has unique forms in the imperfect tense (like 'veía') that don't follow the typical pattern for -er verbs.

If I use 'veis' outside of Spain, will people understand me?

Yes, Spanish speakers everywhere will understand you, but they will immediately know you learned Spanish in Spain or were taught the 'vosotros' form. It sounds formal or foreign in Latin America.
