'Watch''
Hi Guys,
have looked into this but can't find a clear answer. what is the word you use, when wanting to say your ''watching or viewing'' something. i know watching tv is ''fernsehen'' but what is ''watching a person'' or ''watching'' a show on netflix for e.g.?
Danke!

It is depending on what you want to say.
I watch TV. = Ich sehe fern. Ich schaue fern. (Although it is more common to say "Ich schaue Fernsehen.
I watch a person. = Ich beobachte eine Person. Here it is emphasized that you are watching him / her over a longer time.
I watch a show on TV. = Ich schaue eine Show im Fernsehen an. / Ich sehe (mir) eine Show im Fernsehen an.
