Definition
见分晓 is a verb-object (离合词) expression meaning 'to see the outcome' or 'to become clear' after a period of uncertainty or suspense. Because it is separable, you can insert aspect markers or complements between 见 and 分晓 — for example, 见了分晓 ('saw the result') or 见不了分晓 ('can't see the outcome yet'). It is typically used in contexts like competitions, investigations, or debates where a result will emerge.
