Sight is the sense that makes it possible to perceive bodies through the eyes.
The first thing we are going to do, before going into the meaning of the term vista , is to determine its etymological origin. Specifically, we can say that it derives from Latin, specifically from visus , which can be translated as "seen" and which in turn emanates from the verb videre (to see).
Sight is the sense that allows us to perceive bodies with our eyes through light . It is one of the five human senses along with taste , touch , smell and hearing .
How vision works
When light rays reach the eyes , the eyes are able to interpret them. The eyes are the organs that receive light impressions on the retinas and then are responsible for transmitting them to the brain through the optical pathways. The process and result of seeing can be called sight or vision .
For example: "The sun's reflection affected my vision and I ended up crashing" , "Since I was born I had poor eyesight, that's why I always wore glasses" , "A blind man regained his sight thanks to the implantation of a chip" .
Animals considered to have the best eyesight include the Australian mantis shrimp , eagles and felines . When it comes to night vision, however, the species that have the best vision are hyenas, owls and even some snakes.
A view is the beautiful landscape or environment that can be appreciated from a specific place.
The visual field and the landscape
The idea of vision is also used in reference to the possibility of having a large visual field or appreciating something that is considered beautiful .
"The watchman climbed the tower to get a better view", «The view from the balcony is amazing: you can see the whole bay» y «From the viewpoint there is a privileged view» son algunas expresiones que muestran estas acepciones.
Sentences with the term view
The expression "hasta la vista" , on the other hand, is used as a greeting and is linked to the possibility of a future meeting between two or more people: "See you! I'll wait for you here next week, at this same time."
Phrases like "at first glance" or "at first glance" allude to a superficial observation, which lacks depth : "The doctor said that, at first glance, there is no bone injury" , "At first glance, I could tell that the man committed suicide by throwing himself out of his bedroom window into the void" .
In the cinema we find films that use expressions like these in their titles. A clear example is the film "Hasta la vista" , which was released in 2011 and directed by Geoffrey Enthoven . It revolves around a group of young people with different disabilities and illnesses who dream of embarking on an adventure together and without anyone else's company. The objective of this trip is none other than to discover love and sex.
There is also the feature film “At First Sight” , which was released in 1999 and which stars Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino . It was directed by Irwin Winkler and tells the love story between a blind masseur and an architect. A relationship that will be so strong that they will do everything they can to help him regain his sight.
Vista , finally, is a version of the Windows operating system that Microsoft released in 2007 .
