HSK 4 grammar · conjunction

可见

可见 — evidently / which shows that

Pattern

+
( ) can be left out · other words may come before, between and after

How it works

可见 introduces a conclusion drawn from what was just said — "it can be seen that", "evidently", "which shows that". The first clause gives the evidence and 可见 leads the inference.

Examples

Tā lián fàn dōu wàng le chī, kějiàn yǒu duō máng.
He even forgot to eat — you can see how busy he is.
