"Nós vemos pássaros."

Translation: We see birds.

[BGRommel]

Why are words that are listed in the meaning drop down not accepted? I put "We watch birds." Is there a different way of saying it to differentiate from watch and see?

[sweet.zack]

I'm pretty sure it is just as simple as this. Seeing a bird is different than taking the time to watch a bird. This sentence is just referring to seeing a bird, it is different than watching. Portuguese speakers in this post have already said that they would not use the term "watching" to describe the activity of Birdwatching :p

[DanielTietz]

I see a bird = eu vejo um pássaro

I watch a bird = eu observo um pássaro

"Ao abrir a janela eu vi um pássaro na árvore"

"Achei aquele pássaro tão bonito que fiquei observando-o (or, informally, observando ele) por vários minutos"

[Amy22112]

It's hard to understand the context of this. I was thinking "We watch birds." as in bird watching...? (looking at/paying attention to birds as a hobby)

[RobGreen4]

I put nos vimos passaros. Does that mean we saw birds?

[DanielTietz]

yes

[FreddoBarbarroja]

I still don´t get it. It is called birdwatching. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdwatching for a reason, is there something lost in translation then?

[jonthedrummer]

Well if you click the Portuguese tab in Wikipedia, that translates as "Observação de aves"
