It would really help to know the whole sentence you were trying to say to get an idea of the complete context!
The first verb 'come' clearly means that the speaker wants the other person to follow him. The second verb, 'see' can mean to literally see a man or it can mean to meet a man. In all the examples given the command or imperative form of the verb is used because the person talking (the speaker) is telling them to do something!"
If you mean to actually see or look at a man you could say:
Ven, ven y ve a un hombre....
You would use the form above, when talking to a friend, child/young person, or member of your family.
The verb to see can also mean to meet someone, eg: to see (meet) a man
Ven, ven y conoce a un hombre etc...
I have not given you the polite Usted form which is used when talking to older people, or people in authority or strangers because I am not sure if Spanish natives would consider it rude or disrespectful to use the command from with people in authority! Let's see if any Spanish natives responding to this post can tell us!
There is a bible verse where a woman of Samaria says to some other Samaritan people:
"Come , see a man who told me everything I have done. Could this be the Christ?" (John Chapter 4 v 29)
= Venid , ved a un hombre que me ha dicho todo cuanto he hecho. ¿No será éste el Cristo? (Juan capitulo 4 v 29) Santa Biblia sociedades Bíblicas Unidas (1960)
I hope this helps you ![]()
Here's my attempt:
Venga, venga y vea un hombre.
Do you mean something like the English: Come with me, I'm going to see a man about a dog?
Ven conmigo, vamos a ver a un hombre.. vamos a quedarnos con un hombre/un forastero/ alguien desconocido.. vamos a hablar con el señor Gonzalez..
But really, without context , I'mnot sure what you want. This is the best I can do.
