I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

Today we're going to use a giant quiz to get some extensive practice on the verbs ver and

benir.

But first, let's learn a few new things about the ways we can use our new vocabulary. First of all, check out this Spanish

sentence and see if you can tell what's being said.

Nostros amigos see all all the semanas. So literally what we have is

Our friends see themselves every week.

But there are actually a couple of different things that this could mean.

When bear is used reflexively, it can mean that something is seen without reference to who is seeing it.

So this sentence could be saying that our friends are seen every week.

But more likely, when we're talking about more than one person, the meaning is that they see each other.

When you apply a phrase like, se ven, to a group of people, this happens a lot of the time.

Literally, they see themselves, but the implication is that what they're looking at is not themselves, but each other.

Here's another example.

My sister and I see each other every day.

My hermana and I, we, we see us all the days.

So literally, my sister and I see ourselves every day. But of course, that would be a very

strange thing to say in English. In Spanish, it's clear that what we're saying is that we see

each other. Actually, this two-word combination, Nos Beemos, is a common parting greeting. It's literally we see ourselves, but the implication is we will see each other in the near future. For example, until tomorrow, see ya. Until another example, where reflexives refer to each other, this sometimes happens with the verb

Desir. For example, we tell each other a lot of things.

Nosotros nos deimos much
