let me see

Thinking out loud

Let me see is a filler phrase used while pausing to think, remember, or calculate: Let me see, that would have been 1987.

It can also be a literal request to look at something: Let me see the damage.

The two uses blur when someone asks to examine something while deciding: Let me see what we have in stock.
