“mitsukeru” vs “hakkensuru“：Do You Know How to Use Them?

What is the difference between “見みつける(mitsukeru) and 発見はっけんする(hakkensuru)”? Which is used as the meaning of “discover”? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!

_を見みつける (_wo mitsukeru)

Find ___ / 寻找 / 찾다 / Tìm ra, tìm thấy

“___を見みつける(___wo mitsukeru)” means “Find ___” and which has been used as the meaning of “to discover, especially where a thing or person is, either unexpectedly or by searching, or to discover where to get or how to achieve something”. The basic way to use it is that “私わたしは___を見みつける。(I find ___.)”, etc For instance, “私わたしはかわいいお店みせを見みつける。(I find a cute store.)”, “私わたしは鍵かぎを見みつける。(I find the key.)”, “私わたしは仕事しごとを見みつける。(I find a job.)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “___を見みつける” is used as the meaning of “TO FIND SOMETHING WHICH SOMEONE KNOWS OR TO FIND SOMEONE”, unlike “発見はっけんする”. Everyone could use “___を見みつける” as casual, polite and formal such as “かわいいお店みせを見みつけたよ。(I found a cute store.)” as casual “かわいいお店みせを見みつけました。(I found a cute store.)” as polite and formal.
