Miramos la proa desde la cubierta exterior.

In Spanish, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• Miramos = we look / we are looking
• The ending -amos tells you the subject is nosotros.

So Miramos la proa... is perfectly natural and means We look at the bow... or We are looking at the bow..., depending on context.

If you said Nosotros miramos, it would still be correct, but it would usually add emphasis or contrast, like We are the ones looking.

It can mean either one.

In Spanish, the simple present often covers both:

• we look
• we are looking

So Miramos la proa could mean:

• We look at the bow (habitual/general)
• We are looking at the bow (right now)

If you wanted to be more explicitly progressive, you could say Estamos mirando la proa, but Spanish often prefers the simple present where English might use are looking.

Because mirar usually takes a direct object without a preposition when you mean to look at something.

• Miramos la proa = We look at the bow
• not miramos a la proa

Spanish often works differently from English here. English needs at, but Spanish usually does not with mirar.

You may see a with mirar when the object is a specific person, because of the personal a:

• Miramos al capitán = We look at the captain

But with a thing like la proa, no a is needed.

Spanish uses definite articles much more often than English.

Here:

• la proa = the bow
• la cubierta exterior = the outer deck / exterior deck

Even when English might leave out the in some contexts, Spanish often keeps it. This is very normal, especially when referring to a specific, identifiable part of something, like a ship.

So Miramos la proa... sounds natural in Spanish.

La proa is the bow of a ship or boat — the front part.

Useful contrast:

• la proa = the bow, the front
• la popa = the stern, the back

So this sentence is talking about looking toward the front part of the vessel.

Desde means from, especially when showing the starting point or position from which something is seen or done.

• desde la cubierta exterior = from the outer deck

This tells you the place where the action is happening or the viewpoint.

Compare:

• desde = from
• en = in/on/at
• de = of/from, but not usually for this kind of physical viewpoint

So:

• Miramos la proa desde la cubierta exterior = We look at the bow from the outer deck

That is the natural choice here.

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• cubierta exterior = outer/exterior deck

That is the normal word order:

• noun + adjective

If the adjective came before the noun, it would sound unusual here and might suggest a special stylistic effect rather than neutral description.

Because they are feminine nouns in Spanish:

• la proa
• la cubierta

That is why they take:

• the feminine article la
• and, when relevant, feminine adjective forms

In this sentence, exterior does not visibly change for gender because it is an adjective with the same form for masculine and feminine in the singular:

• el patio exterior
• la cubierta exterior

Yes, exterior is an adjective describing cubierta.

Here it means something like:

• outer
• exterior

In the singular, its form is the same for masculine and feminine:

• el muro exterior
• la cubierta exterior

In the plural, it becomes:

• exteriores

Examples:

• las cubiertas exteriores
• los muros exteriores

Usually mirar means to look at, not to see.

• mirar = to look at
• ver = to see

So the most direct translation is:

• We look at the bow from the outer deck
• or We are looking at the bow from the outer deck

If the idea were we see the bow, Spanish would more naturally use vemos:

• Vemos la proa desde la cubierta exterior

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

mee-RA-mos la PRO-a DES-de la koo-BYER-ta eks-te-RYOR

A few notes for Spain:

• r in miramos and proa is tapped lightly.
• d in desde and cubierta is usually softer than in English.
• c in cubierta is a hard k sound.
• x in exterior sounds like ks.
• In most of Spain, z and soft c have a th sound, but there is no such case in this sentence.

Sometimes Spanish can omit the article in certain fixed nautical or technical expressions, but in a normal learner context, desde la cubierta exterior is the safest and most natural form.

• desde la cubierta exterior = fully standard and clear

Dropping the article can happen in specialized styles, labels, or more compressed expressions, but it is not the basic pattern you should start with.
