How it's used

Implies a cursory or superficial inspection rather than a deep or thorough investigation. It is often used in professional or administrative contexts where one is scanning for obvious errors or checking the status of something quickly. Unlike 檢查, which suggests a systematic or rigorous process, 檢視 focuses on the act of looking over something to get a general sense of its condition.

Examples

Common phrases

Common mistake

Learners often use this interchangeably with 檢查, but 檢視 is less about troubleshooting or fixing and more about observation. Avoid using it if you mean to perform a detailed physical check or a medical examination.
