📚 Etymology▼

The verb 'ver' comes directly from the Latin word *vidēre*, meaning 'to see.' This origin is why the past participle is irregular (*visto*) and why the imperfect tense has an unusual vowel (veía).

First recorded: Before the 10th century (as *veer* or *ver*)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'verán' a regular or irregular verb form?

The infinitive 'ver' is generally irregular (especially in the past imperfect and past participle). However, the future tense form 'verán' is formed regularly, meaning it follows the standard pattern of adding the future ending to the full infinitive ('ver' + 'án').

How do I know if 'verán' means 'they will see' or 'you will see'?

You need context! If the conversation is formal or addressing a group of people you respect (like bosses or clients), 'verán' means 'you (all) will see' (ustedes). Otherwise, it usually means 'they will see' (ellos/ellas).
