Nähdä is a basic verb for visual perception and is often used informally to mean 'see' as in 'meet' (similar to English 'see you later'). Note that the verb is irregular: past tense 'näki', perfect participle 'nähnyt'. For 'meet' in the sense of 'encounter' or 'have a meeting', Finnish also uses 'tavata'.
