📚 Etymology

Comes from the Latin word 'vidēre', meaning 'to see'. The future tense in Spanish cleverly evolved from combining the original full verb with a form of 'habēre' (to have). So, 'vidēre habēmus' (to see, we have) eventually smoothed into 'veremos'.

First recorded: Around the 12th century

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 'veremos' and 'vamos a ver'?

They both talk about the future, but have a slightly different feel. 'Vamos a ver' (we are going to see) often sounds like a more definite, immediate plan. 'Veremos' (we will see) can be for something further in the future or when you're less certain. However, in casual speech, they are often used interchangeably.

Why is 'veremos' used on its own as an answer?

It has become a set phrase, like saying 'We'll see' in English. The full idea is something like 'We will see what happens,' but it's so common that just saying 'veremos' is enough for everyone to understand you mean 'let's wait and see'.
