Common Mistakes

  • Come può vedere qui...

    Use *puoi* for informal singular; *può* is formal or third‑person and sounds odd in a direct address.

  • Come puoi vedere ...

    Lì means “there” (away from the speaker). The phrase points to something nearby, so *qui* is required.

  • Come puoi vedi qui...

    After *puoi* you need the infinitive *vedere*, not the conjugated *vedi*.

Alternatives

  • Come puoi notare qui...

    As you can notice here...

  • Come vedi qui...

  • Come si può osservare qui...

    As can be observed here...

Cultural Tip

In formal Italian presentations you’ll often hear the plural form *Come potete vedere qui…* when addressing a group. Adjust the verb (puoi/potete) and the pronoun according to the audience’s level of formality.
