stare gaze at look at eye gawk at scrutinize In German we have many verbs that allow us to describe precisely how one looks at someone how one directs one's gaze toward another In this video I expla I'll explain the differences between these verbs so you can express yourself more naturally and accurately in everyday situations Let's start with the first one To look at someone to stare at someone and to glance at someone— these are verbs used constantly in everyday life All three express Essentially the same thing You focus your gaze your eyes on a person That's completely neutral so these verbs also work in many situations Here are two example sentences for someone looking at you: When I entered the room everyone looked at me So I came into the room and everyone They fixed their eyes on me The look can be described more precisely She looked at me so kindly that I immediately felt at ease She had a very kind pleasant look To look at someone and to look someone in the eye have the same meaning as to look at someone But they are somewhat more colloquial "Angucken" is even more informal than "anschauen " There are also regional variations in usage In the southern German dialect region including Austria one typically says "jemanden anschauen " In northern Germany people typically say "angucken " though there's no clear-cut rule for it Rule For me coming from North Rhine-Westphalia "angucken" is the verb at I use more often Sometimes though I say "watch" instead Here are three example sentences My dog is looking at me expectantly I think he's hungry My dog looks at me and from the expression in his eyes I can tell at he wants his food Or they looked at each other and suddenly started laughing There is also the verb to stare at someone It means the same as looking at or watching but is more formal and sounds like written German And one more note—surely you're familiar with the expression "to take a look at something " "to glance at it " "to check it out " You could say I'm currently watching a YouTube video or I'm watching a video right now or I'm just looking at a video When referring to people saying That's normally not something I'd do I'm not saying I'm looking at you That sounds strange but there is a situation in which you hear it namely at the doctor's A doctor might say I'll take a look at the The patient is female and that means I am examining the patient I am checking whether She is ill and what illness she has To look at someone describes such an investigative probing process The doctor examines the Ask the patient to describe what's wrong with them The next verb is "to consider someone " This verb is actually used primarily in connection with things One considers something Sometimes one says but also when talking about people Imagine you're in a Museum and stands before a painting You don't just glance at it briefly but you Look closely pay attention to the details let the image sink in reflect on the Painting we can describe this well using the verb "to observe " He observes the painting just as one observes a person You look at her for a while and find yourself reflecting on the person or on what she said or did For instance she stared at him for a long time before she responded She looked at him intently and attentively for a long time thought about him Gazing describes a calm contemplative look One can certainly stare at someone for a long time and with intense focus so much so that it becomes Someone being unpleasant For that I'll now show you the appropriate verbs To regard someone usually does not mean that one regards someone an unpleasant way In everyday speech one says "to look at someone" ot so often People more commonly say "to look at someone" or "to stare at someone " But whe If one wishes to express looking at someone for a longer time with greater attention resulting in a contemplative gaze then "to regard" is an appropriate verb ext verb is to eye someone This means looking at someone closely and scrutinizingly and often looks at someone with skepticism or suspicion You eye someone suspiciously when you s not entirely certain whether one can trust someone For instance the The bouncer eyes the teenagers suspiciously A bouncer is someone who for example decides who gets to enter a club or nightclub Who may enter the club and who may not He studies the young people closely He checks with his eyes for instance whether they are old enough whether he could let me in or not Or the little boy had eyed me quite critically at first But after half an hour he then gave me his Favorite toy shown The boy stared at me long and suspiciously I watched him He didn’t know me He didn’t know if I was kind whether he could trust me The next verb is to stare at someone When you stare at someone you look at them in an unusually prolonged and noticeable way ensely One fixes a firm focused gaze upon the Person Sometimes you stare at someone because they said something unexpectedly or did It sometimes feels like a reflex I could say that when he did When she told him the price for the table she stared at him in disbelief At this We can see that the price for the table was much higher than they She had not expected this The price surprises her so she stares at it She stares at him long and intently unable to believe what he has said o be perfectly honest Or

This is an informal verb carrying a much stronger negative connotation than "staring " Staring at someone is often disrespectful and extremely impolite This verb suggests that someone cannot control their own gaze The person often has their eyes wide open and mouth agape while staring They are amazed by something To stare is generally meant in a negative sense For example stop staring at the woman like that— it's completely rude She likely stands out in some way here—perhaps she's dressed very unusually That's why you stare at her with your mouth agape and wide eyes gawking in disbelief I'm telling you stop staring at the woman so intensely and intrusively After those intense uncomfortable glances we now move on to a brief light glance—that is the expression of casting a glance at someone This expression describes briefly glancing at someone This brief glimpse conveys something profound—a silent message wordless and emotionless For instance when I was about to start discussing something with the boss my colleague gave me a warning look My colleague didn't speak to me but he gave me a warning look He glanced at me briefly and in his gaze was a message: Don't argue with the boss now—just say nothing Or she shoots her boyfriend a nasty glance because he's been staring at his phone the whole time She glares briefly at her boyfriend it's instantly clear she's annoyed with him Or the coach gives the child an encouraging look and calls out "Try it again " The coach gives the child a brief encouraging friendly glance—his eyes saying you've got this As you can see we gladly supplement a quick glance with an additional piece of information tells us what the look appears like and what message or emotion it conveys One can give someone a warning angry look a friendly smile a questioning expression an encouraging nod a knowing glance or a skeptical frown To cast loving sorrowful and similar glances—this is quite a practical expression If you enjoyed this video be
