The phrase "eso está por ver." Does this phrase mean "that remains to be seen"? Thanks.

I guess it can although I think it's more common to see:

eso está por ver

Edit, gracias a Dakie smile - Eso está por verse

The phrase is: eso está por verse, :) - Dakie, Apr 6, 2011
Not just more common. Your sentence is normal; the one in the original question sound strange to me. - lazarus1907, Apr 6, 2011

Yes, but in first person, which would be something like: that remains me to see or that's what I'm just about to see, I'm not positive about either of those but I hope that at least you get the idea.

Kiwi: smile

No, "eso está por ver" is weird, and if that means something, that would be: "eso está por ver (él or usted)", which in English would be: that remains him/you(usted) to see or that's what he's/you're(usted) just about to see, again with my two odd interpretations.
