Αυτός,ή,ό βλέπ-ει He, she, it sees / watches

Εμείς βλέπ-ουμε We see / watch

Εσείς βλέπ-ετε You see (plural form “you”, or polite form “you”) watch

Αυτοί,ές,ά βλέπ-ουν They see / watch

So if you have a balcony with sea view, you can say “Βλέπω τη θάλασσα», —-> “I see the sea”.

Or, if you forgot your glasses, you can say “Δε βλέπω καλά», —> “I don’t see well”.

You can also say “Βλέπω τηλεόραση», —-> “I watch TV”

or «Βλέπω μια ταινία» —> I watch a movie

(Note; in Greek –‘ to see’ or ‘to watch” is the same verb )

This verb can also mean “to meet”. Example;
“Κάθε Σάββατο βλέπω τα ξαδέρφια μου», —-> “I meet my cousins every Saturday”.

Εγώ θα δ-ω

Εσύ θα δ-εις

Αυτός,ή,ό θα δ-ει

Εμείς θα δ-ούμε
