regarder

to look at

verb ruh-gar-DEH Common

Also means

to concern

Usage Note

Regarder takes a direct object with no preposition, so you watch the TV rather than looking 'at' it — a classic trap for English speakers. It also means to concern someone, as in ça ne te regarde pas (it's none of your business), and the bare regarde ! is the everyday 'look!'.

Examples

"Je regarde par la fenêtre."

Natural Translation

I'm looking out the window.
