tittar

Tittar is the present tense form of the Swedish verb titta, meaning to look, glance, or peer. It is used in the present indicative for all persons (jag tittar, du tittar, han tittar, hon tittar, vi tittar, ni tittar, de tittar).

Titta is a regular -ar verb. Its principal forms are: infinitive titta, present tittar, past tittade, and supine tittat. The present tense form tittar is used with various subjects to describe current looking or watching actions.

Common usage includes the phrasal verb titta på, meaning to look at or to watch. Titta on its own can describe looking or peering in a direct sense, while phrases like tittar ut (to look out) or tittar igenom (to skim or look through) extend its meaning. Examples: Jag tittar på TV. Hon tittar genom fönstret. De tittar på kartan. Vad tittar du på?

In Swedish, tittar is a frequent verb in everyday speech and writing, suitable for describing any ongoing act of looking. It is often contrasted with se, a broader term for “to see,” though tittar emphasizes the act of looking or watching in the moment.
