Casi no se ven

Question

This seems easy at first, but I think it means in this context: They almost can't be seen (from here). Like "casi no se ve" one almost can't see them = they almost can't be seen but I wonder about the ven and not ve - and that makes the sentence be about them and not the one doing the actual seeing.

Girl: Allí están. Los veo desde aquí. (she is on a highwire looking out in the distance) There they are. I see them from here.

Man: Que buena forma de buscar. What a great way to search (from up there)

Girl: Están en un callejón. They're in an alley(way)

Girl: Por poco no los encontramos. We almost didn't find them.

Girl: Casi no se ven

Answer 1

You are right! They almost can't be seen (from here). It´s passive voice.

Another example: No se ve nada en la oscuridad ....... Nothing (can be) seen in the darkness.

jeje, I thought I felt my ears burning ;-)....I said in a different thread that your English was excellent Julian. I made this remark because I have read many of your Spanish answers and just assumed you were a native Spanish speaker :-) - billygoat, Dec 20, 2011
