hi benny, your videos are very helpful.
I have 2 questions:

1) What’s the difference between 看 and 見? Both words mean “to see”, right?

2) When do you use “bao zhong” and when do you use “xiao xin”? They both mean take care, right?

Thanks!

greenace8,

“见” = to see. For example
míng tiān jiàn = see you tomorrow. But it can’t be used alone as a single verb.

看 = to look/ to see/ to watch

wǒ kàn kàn = I just look

míng tiān wǒ lái kàn nǐ = I’ll come to see you tomorrow

wǒ yào kàn diàn yǐng = I want to watch movie
