"No ves la leche."

Translation: You do not see the milk.

[UpwardDog]

How does one determine that the implied subject is "you"? I thought it was "I".

[jalaj]

yo veo - I see
Tu ves - you see

[Oatison]

Stay watchful for the verb endings. They'll tell you.

[advasalat]

i would like to know what ending you mean. thank you

[KukkuFalken]

"Ves"
Ve is see
If they give 'veo' it means I see
If they give 'ves' it means you see
If they give 'ven' it means they see

[ann82701]

Thanks for the explanation

[Ciara.Lawrence]

Thats what i put too. It doesn't say whether or not its You or I

[duolingoekh]

Ves is of the tú form and means that the translation is you see.

[KayyMarie1]

I agree UpwardDog! I was thinking the same thing!

[AnitaBandita]

You do not see the milk! like someone hypnotizing you :)

[gidi2]

Or like your son standing staring into the refrigerator, staring at the milk, and asking, "Donde es la leche?"

[XDS0]

You only need to realize the truth.

There is no milk.

[Jessehollahan]

What about ... "do not watch the milk."?

[Silver_Hawk]

I kind of saw it as an accusatory remark given between distraught spouses "don't you see the milk? staring daggers"

[grammr]

Why just saying "don't see the milk" is wrong?

[lynettemcw]

In English that would be interpreted as a command without the subject pronoun. That wouldn't really make any sense, and is definitely not what the Spanish means.

[amwsmith]

you "dont" see / you "cant" see = what is the correct translation here? Can it mean both??

[lynettemcw]

You don't see = No ves

You can't see = No puedes ver.

Remember that whenever you see can, could or any form of to be able to you will find the verb poder.

[fastnracey]

How can you tell when it's "you..." or "I..." when it doesn't make that distinction?

[themoxy]

The verb endings change in regard to subject. With most verbs an "o" ending (ie veo) means "I see" whereas "es" (ves) means you see

[VincentBev1]

I put..."you don't see the milk." Can anyone translate what i put and maybe explain do not and did not? Thanks everyone

[VincentBev1]

I mean, i put "you didn't see the milk"....

[lynettemcw]

You didn't see the milk would be No viste la leche. I think it is the negative that is messing you up, along with this somewhat unusual sentence. Did you see is the past tense of do you see.

[Yourfacerecords]

Didn't I write it on the list? I already poured my cereal!!

[WilsonAhrens]

Please explain voy ves etc.
No voy la leche is I don't see the milk? I am not sure if im getting this.

[Eualb]

No.
yo voy=I go

Yo veo=I see

[Pewee_the_Poncho]

It feels like you are being hypnotized.

[moochepooche]

i was confused very confused

[chionophobe]

waves hand This is not the milk you're looking for

[braden__cox]

I agree with UpwardDog.
