vede

Vede is a word form found in Italian and Romanian that means “sees.” It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verbs vedere in Italian and vedea in Romanian. Both verbs derive from the Latin videre, meaning to see, reflecting their common Romance-language origins.

In Italian, vede is used with a direct object to express perception of something seen by the subject. Example: “Lui vede la montagna” (He sees the mountain). In Romanian, vede serves the same grammatical role in the present tense: “El vede un bărbat” (He sees a man). The two languages pronounce the form differently: Italian typically [ˈveː.de], Romanian [ˈve.de].

As present-tense forms, vede is part of larger conjugation patterns in each language. Italian offers a full present paradigm for vedere (vedo, vedi, vede, vediamo, vedete, vedono). Romanian provides its own paradigm for vedea (văd, vezi, vede, vedem, vedeți, văd). The form vede thus functions as a common, everyday verb form rather than a standalone word with a distinct meaning beyond “sees” in normal usage.

The term is not commonly used as a proper noun in standard Italian or Romanian. Its significance rests in its role as a widely encountered verb form in both languages, illustrating the shared roots of Italian and Romanian vocabulary.
