The present ხედავ- is for seeing that is going on: ფანჯრიდან მთებს ვხედავ (I can see the mountains from the window). The future and past use ნახ-.

ნახავს also means to visit or meet up with someone: შაბათს ბებიას ვნახავთ (we'll visit grandma on Saturday). It is used for films and places too: ეს ფილმი ნახე? (Have you seen this film?)

With you as the object, add გ-: გნახე (gnakhe) (I saw you).
