JMdict 1392580

In a sentence

前(まえ)frontを見(み)てlook

Look ahead

How it works

を (object) marks what is looked at — 前(まえ) (front), here meaning "ahead". The verb sits in its て (te-form) form, 見て(みて) (look), which on its own works as a soft command: "look ahead" or "watch where you're going". Dropping the rest of the request leaves it casual and direct.
