To have just - Acabar de + infinitive
He acabado de ver - I have just seen

Thanks eddy - Polyglot1day, Feb 15, 2013
I agree! - --Mariana--, Feb 15, 2013
I agree that it's acabar de Eddy but I don't think it works the same way in the present perfect, just the present - otherwise you lose the 'just' element (at least that's my understanding ;) ) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 16, 2013
I would suggest 'acabo de ver ....' instead of 'he acabado de ver' - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 16, 2013

Acabar = to have just?
No acabo de entender este concepto. Puede ayudarme, por favor.

It is only used in a positive statement. It doesn´t make sense in the negative - 005faa61, Feb 15, 2013
Thanks, but that sentence is one of the examples given under the definition of "acabar" on this site! - PeterRS, Feb 15, 2013
