Pierre's verb of the week
se
Verb of the week: se
Hei alle sammen,
Her er dagens verb: "å se", "to look" or "to see".
å se = to look , to see(infinitive form)
vi ser = we look, we see (present tense)
vi så = we looked, we saw (past tense)
vi har sett = we have looked, we have seen (past participle)
"vi" means "we".
Whether it means "see" or "look" depends on context: if there is a
direct object (something seen) then it is probably "see". Consider
this excerpt from a contemporary song:
jeg har solbriller på, så ingen riktig ser hvor jeg ser ...
which translates to, approximately:
I have sunglasses on, so nobody [can] really see where I am looking
There are dozens of idioms and expressions using this verb. I will
list just a few of the most common here:
å se på = to look at
å se etter = to look for
å se seg om = to look around
å se ut = to have an appearance, such as:
Hvordan ser hun ut? = How does she look?
La oss prøve dette verbet. Kan du skrive noen setninger om å se?
Let's try out this verb. Can you write some sentences about seeing??
Ha det,
Pierre
