This is the 7087th most frequent Chinese word.
看见
To see.
Here, '看见' (kànjiàn) is used to mean 'saw' to describe the act of visually observing something at a specific time.
我早上在公园看见了一只小鸟。
I saw a small bird in the park this morning.
In this sentence, '看见' (kànjiàn) again means 'saw,' but it's emphasizing the subject's observation leading to a reaction.
他看见了那幅画,觉得很有意思。
He saw that painting and found it very interesting.
Once more, '看见' (kànjiàn) is used to indicate visual perception, denoting the subject's sight of the scenery.
