Usage

One of the most common French verbs. The reflexive form "se regarder" means "to look at oneself" or "to look at each other." In the second sense, "regarder" often appears in negative or interrogative constructions ("Ça ne te regarde pas"; "Ça te regarde?"). Avoid confusing with "voir" (to see), which is more general.
