Plans, and a gentle way to suggest checking something.
On regardera — we’ll have a look, we’ll see about it — is how French postpones a decision politely. It is the standard non-committal answer to a request you do not want to refuse outright.
The conditional softens a suggestion: « tu regarderais si c’est ouvert ? » — would you check whether it’s open? Here regarder means to check, not to gaze, which is an everyday sense learners rarely produce.
💡 Focus at this level: Future & conditional
1. « On regardera » defers politely. Not a refusal, not a promise.
2. Regarder = to check. « Je regarde et je te dis. »
3. Conditional for favours. « Tu regarderais… ? »
