How it's used
Functions primarily as a formal noun phrase rather than a conversational verb, often appearing in news reports or official accounts. It carries a sense of objective observation or eyewitness testimony. When used in speech, it sounds quite serious or analytical.
Examples
As seen at the scene, there is no one there anymore.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this as a verb to mean 'to see'. It is strictly a noun referring to the content of one's observation, so it cannot replace common verbs like 見到 or 睇到.
