Question

ce qui est plus correct?
je LE vois ou je LUI vois??
Merci beaucoup en avance pour votre aide

Answer 1

"Je le vois" est le mieux - i see him
je la vois i see her

Answer 2

merci; et comment dit-on "I see it"
would that not also be "je le vois" and, if so, how can I distinguish between the two?

Answer 3

i see it - "je le vois" or "je la vois"

to distinguish the two :
the same thing in english
"i see it" refers to a thing, an object
"i see him/her" refers to a person
so
je le/la vois : if you can ask"je vois QUOI? le/la refers to a thing
i see the chair/i see it-- je vois la chaise/je la vois
if you can ask"je vois QUI? le/la refers to a person
i see Tom/i see him-- Je vois Tom/je le vois

Answer 4

one more thing

je LUI vois means "je lui prédis" (i preditc him/her)
in this case with the term "lui" the verb "voir" means"prédire/to predict)

Answer 5

thank you

Answer 6

oh - I see; thank you

Answer 7

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum and mk-tintin's excellent help. What you are working with are object pronouns.

Direct-Object pronouns = me (m'), te (t'), le, la (l'), nous, vous, les

Indirect-Object pronouns = me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur

NOTE that it is the 3rd person that causes difficulty. In English the difference is (D.O.) her, him it and them but the I.D.O. either states or has understood (to, for, at, from) him, her, them.
