the plain English equivalent; 'see page 14' is more common in everyday writing, while 'vide' is formal and academic
- refer to
a fuller phrase that works in the same way; 'refer to the table' sounds natural in both formal and semi-formal texts
- consult
suggests looking at a source for specific guidance or answers; 'consult the appendix' is common in reference works
文法句型
vide + [reference location] + for + [purpose]
用法筆記
Only found in the imperative mood as a direct instruction to the person reading. Always followed by a specific reference (page number, chapter, section, table, figure, etc.). The subject of the sentence is always the implied reader. Do not conjugate this word — there are no forms such as vides, vided, or viding in English.
