"Check out (object)" (v.) - a somewhat informal phrasal verb / expression similar in meaning to the phrasal verb "take a look," or "echar un vistazo" in Spanish. Does not have to literally mean to "look at" but rather refers to the idea of examining something. Similar in meaning to "comprobar" in Spanish. "Check (object)" - similar to "check out (object)" in that it also means "to look at / examine," but often with a more specific intent to verify / find out something. I.e. "to check something" = lo que se hace para averiguar algo. E.g. "Check the screens to see which gate our flight leaves out of." Whereas "Check out the screens" is more open ended; "I'm interested in what the screens look like in this airport. Let's check them out." The other way "check out (object)" can be used is to borrow something, usually in the case of borrowing a book from a library. "I would like to check out this book, please." "Checkout" or "Check out" (n.) - leaving someplace at which the person was staying, usually a hotel. "Checkout is at 11am." Can also be used as a verb; "What time do we check out?" No object is used. You can say, "What time do we check out OF the hotel?" But "What time do we check out the hotel?" would mean "What time are we looking at the hotel?" "View" - literally a synonym for "look at" or "see," but usually used in the technical context / social media context, as Maya Cotton also explained. Both a verb and a noun: "5 people have viewed your account." "This video is gaining popularity so fast, it already has 1,000 views in the first hour!" (in other words, the video has been viewed 1,000 times in the first hour). "To look at" - basically the same as "to view," but does not have as strong a connection to social media as "view." A very general meaning that can be used in many different situations. Literally "mirar". Hope this helps!

Hello. It looks like other people have already answered your question about the meanings of your expressions/phrasal verbs. I thought it might help if I added some more example sentences. Other than "check out", they can be used interchangeably. "Check out" is a phrasal verb that means to evaluate or inspect something. I hope this answer helps answer your question. 1. I am going to check my profile to see if I have any new messages. (I am going to look quickly at my profile.) 2. I am checking out this new dating app. (I am looking closer/investigating/learning about this new dating app.) 3. She viewed his profile after he messaged her. (She looked at his profile.) 4. He looked at many profiles this morning. (He viewed many profiles.)

*Do those expressions have to do with turning one's eyes towards something or do they mean to examine something or do they mean to read something?* "Look at" CAN emphasize the physical action of moving eyes or turning heads. The rest of the phrases don't. These phrases mostly mean the same thing, though I can point to some differences. Check VS. Check out: These two can mean the same thing, though "Check out" is often used to mean discovering something new. You can check out a new band you haven't heard of, but you wouldn't check out your email. Check out VS. View: These two can be used the same way, but there is a certain difference in register. View is used in more formal settings. If you send your resume to a job application, you can tell them "please take the time to view my resume". If you're smart, you wouldn't tell them "Check out my resume!" lol. Hope this was helpful!

Davidk and Maya, thanks for your explanations and your contribution.

“Check” in this context means to look at something with the goal of obtaining specific information. “Check her profile to see where she lives.”
