No te he avistado

Question

Can it mean I haven't seen you? From a game: Enemigo avistado.... Enemy spotted.

Answer 1

yeah... it could be used like that... but it's more usually used "no te he visto"...

Answer 2

Avistar es un verbo usado preferentemente por los marineros con el significado de ver o alcanzar a ver. El destructor avistó un submarino a 32 millas de Vigo. El arponero avistó una ballena desde su bote. El viguia del Titanic avistó el iceberg cuando ya era demasiado tarde. El ejercito americano avistò un OVNI(objeto volador no identificado) el 23 de Mayo de 1998.

Answer 3

It means something like to see at a distance, to see from afar, to descry (I love that word. Not used enough). I suppose you could say, "I have not descried you", but I think it sounds a bit odd in both languages.

Answer 4

A mistake: El vigía del Titanic... I´m sorry
