How to Say “See Attached” in Spanish

By •
ver adjunto
/beɾ adxunto/from spelling rules
The phrase ver adjunto is the Spanish way to say "see attached".
This phrase is used in emails or letters to tell the reader to look at a file sent with the message. In professional emails, you can simply use the word adjunto (attached) or se adjunta (it is attached) instead of a full command.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of the verb ver (to see) and the adjective adjunto (attached).

Which one should you use?

More formal business correspondence often uses phrases like adjunto se encuentra or se adjunta than the imperative ver adjunto. You can use Adjunto encontrará / encontrará adjunto for "you will find attached / attached you will find" in a formal context. For a polite, formal way to say "I am sending you the attached file", you can use Le envío el archivo adjunto.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

In formal business environments, phrases like adjunto se encuentra or se adjunta are more common. For informal situations, you can use colloquial expressions like Mira lo que te adjunté (Look at what I attached for you) or Te envío el archivo adjunto (I am sending you the attached file).

How does it change in a sentence?

The word adjunto must agree in gender and number with the noun it refers to (the attachment). Use ver adjunta if the attachment is a feminine noun, such as la factura (the invoice). Use ver adjuntos if there are multiple masculine or mixed-gender attachments, and ver adjuntas if there are multiple feminine attachments.

Did you know?

  • The verb ver is a cognate of the English words 'wit' and 'wise', as they all stem from a Proto-Indo-European root relating to seeing or knowing.
  • The word adjunto has a life outside of email correspondence. In many professional contexts, it can be used as a noun to mean an 'assistant' or an 'adjunct' person holding a specific position.
  • In highly formal or bureaucratic Spanish, writers often avoid using 'I' or 'we' entirely. Instead of saying 'I have attached', they use the impersonal reflexive se adjunta to make the attachment of the file seem like an objective, automatic fact.
