Come see!
0 Hi, 02 br
00 what's the difference between "come see" and "come look"? I tried using my friend Google, and it seems most people like "come see". 02 br
01 i 02 br
00 Jack! Come see! 02 br
00 Jack! Come see what I found! 02 br
00 Jack! Come look! 02 br
00 Jack! Come look what I found! 02 br
00 Jack! Come look at this picture! 02 br
00 Jack! Come see this picture! 02 br
00 Jack! Come see my new pictures! 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 My gosh, what a mess. Could somebody give me some advice? I think "look" is more like "noticing something, taking a quick look", while "see" is more like "watching, learning about something". But I still have trouble choosing. 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks in advance. 05 0 010id 1

00 Maybe this statement that I found online might help make some sense: 01 i 00 "a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at

00 yeah, that's why I suspect both "look" and "see" might work, depending on the exact context. For example, it should usually be 01 i 00 "come see what I found" 02 i 00 , since it's basically equivalent to "come check it out", but on the other hand I think "look" might be better in something like 01 i 00 "Hey Tom! There's something weird! Come look!"

0 To me, the difference is such: 02 br
02 br
00 1) What? You don't beleive me? Come see! 02 br
02 br
00 2) Wow! What a strange/interesting/weird thing I have made! Come look! 02 br

00 Come see! — implies that the speaker wants to make somebody belive in something 02 br
00 Come look! — is used if one's objective is to attr

0 The words are both so important to everyday experiences that they have multiple uses and cross uses. 02 br

00 "Do you see what I see?", can be a question about simple perception, in the physical sense; or it can be asking if both find the same significance. 02 br
02 br
00 "Look over there! What do you see?" Same thing. 02 br

0 In any case, both are reductions from 01 i 00 Come 01 u 00 and 02 u 00 see 02 i 00 and 01 i 00 Come 01 u 00 and 02 u 00 look 02 i 00 . 02 br
00 You also hear 01 i 00 Come n see, Come n look. 02 i 02 br
00 I find them practically interchangeable. 02 br
00 Same for 01 i 00 Go n see
