Italian Phrase
Come puoi vedere qui...
Meaning
Literally “As you can see here…”. The speaker uses it to draw the listener’s attention to something that is currently visible—an image, a chart, a slide, or a physical object.
When to use
Use this phrase at the start of a presentation, a tutorial video, or any situation where you are pointing out a visual element that the audience can already observe.

✕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...
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...
As you see here...
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.
