💡 Grammar Points
Who is 'we'?
Vemos is the form of the verb ver (to see) that you use for 'we' (nosotros or nosotras). So, Nosotros vemos means 'We see'.
Seeing vs. Looking
Use vemos for the general act of seeing or watching something. If you want to say you are actively looking at something, miramos is a better choice. Vemos is what your eyes do, miramos is what your brain tells them to do.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Present vs. Past
Mistake: "Ayer vemos una película."
Correction: Ayer vimos una película. The past tense form for 'we' is `vimos`. `Vemos` is only for the present.
When used as 'Nos vemos,' the word means 'we meet' or 'we'll see each other,' often used as a friendly way to say goodbye.
vemos(Verb)
we meet
?arranging to see someone, often used with 'nos'
we'll see each other
?as a way of saying goodbye

💡 Grammar Points
The 'Each Other' Trick

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'vemos' and 'vimos'?
They look very similar! `Vemos` means 'we see' and is used for things happening now or regularly. `Vimos` means 'we saw' and is for a completed action in the past. For example: 'Ahora vemos la tele' (Now we watch TV) vs. 'Ayer vimos la tele' (Yesterday we watched TV).
Why do people say 'nos vemos' instead of just 'vemos'?
Adding `nos` changes the meaning to 'each other'. So, `vemos` is 'we see' (like seeing a car), but `nos vemos` is 'we see each other'. It's the standard way to talk about meeting up or saying goodbye.
