"Guarda verso la finestra."

Translation: She looks toward the window.

[Koolkaren]

I thought verso meant to look 'through' and 'she looks through the window' makes much more sense than 'to the window'.

[mukkapazza]

You might be thinking of "attraverso" which does mean through. Substituting "verso" with "attraverso" would indeed make the sentence mean: She looks through the window.

Thank you for the help. I obviously didn't remember correctly. So, does this sentence then mean she looks 'at' the window?

[f.formica]

No, it's rather "she looks in the direction of the window"; she looks at the window would be "lei guarda la finestra" (direct object).

Thank you for your help. I appreciate your taking the time. Grazie! :)
