    Я хочу тебя увидеть. I want to see you.

    What is the difference between 'Я хочу тебя увидеть.' and 'Я хочу тебя видеть.'
    Both are in different aspect, how will the context in both sentences differ?

    Я хочу тебя увидеть - I want to see you (for one time)

    e.g.

    (Телефонный разговор) - Где ты был так долго? Приезжай, я хочу тебя увидеть! -> (on the phone) Where have you been for so long? Come around I want to see you!


    Я хочу тебя видеть - I want to see you for some period of time (an hour, a minute, a second, all my life etc.)

    e.g.

    Играй только на площадке. Я хочу тебя видеть -> Play only within this area. I want to always see you while you're playing)

    I hope this helps
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
