Usage of 见 (jiàn)

The character 见 primarily means "to see" or "to meet." It is one of the most common verbs in Mandarin and appears frequently in everyday conversation. When used to mean "to meet," it often implies a planned or casual encounter with someone.

Common Collocations

  • 见面 (jiàn miàn): to meet face-to-face
  • 见到 (jiàn dào): to see, to catch sight of
  • 见过 (jiàn guò): have seen or met before

Nuances

见 can also imply perceiving or noticing something, not just physically seeing. For example, "我见他很忙" means "I saw that he was busy," implying observation of a situation.

Avoid Confusion

Don't confuse 见 with 看 (kàn), which also means "to see" but often implies a more active or intentional act of looking or watching, such as watching TV or reading. 见 is more about the event of seeing or meeting.

Register

见 is neutral and widely used in both spoken and written Chinese. It is appropriate in formal and informal contexts.

例文

我昨天见了我的朋友。

I met my friend yesterday.
