Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 'verte', 'verlo', and 'verla'?

'Verte' specifically means 'to see you' (when you're talking directly to one person informally, using 'tú'). 'Verlo' means 'to see him' or 'to see it' (for masculine things), and 'verla' means 'to see her' or 'to see it' (for feminine things).

Is 'verte' formal or informal?

It's informal because it uses 'te'. For a more formal situation where you would use 'usted', you would say 'verlo' (to see you, sir) or 'verla' (to see you, ma'am).
