见到 (jiàn dào) — to see (someone), to manage to meet or see after expecting
Definition
见到 emphasizes successful completion — 'to finally see/meet, to catch sight of someone' (often after waiting or searching). Contrast with 看见 (jiàn dào vs kàn jiàn), which is neutral 'to see'; 见到 highlights that the meeting actually happened.
