Inspired by this question, I wonder if there is also some German relative (dialect or general) of Dutch word "kijken" for to watch or look at something.

I think for example I saw or heard somewhere a comment about "kieken", is this used?

  Having zero knowledge about Dutch - could you please provide explantory examples how "kijken" is used and what meanings are common? Otherwise you need an answerer that has a deep understanding about both Dutch and German.

The German kijken is

kucken

sometimes (especially in the North) also written like

gucken

Both is standard German, and you can find both forms registered in Der Duden (most authoritative reference dictionary for German).

Kieken, in contrast, is a Northern dialectal form of kucken, and of course it is so to say the bridge to kijken.

There are many common phrases with kucken, e.g.

Kuck mal an! / Kuck mal einer an! / Ja da guck an!

meaning something like: "*Oh, that's indeed surprising!" In Swabian dialect (in the South-West) this would be: Jo do guck naa!.

Da kuckst du, was?

"That's surprising for you, isn't it?"

Mal kucken...

meaning something like: "Okay, I don't know yet, but we will see what brings the future; or simply: "Let's see."

Was kuckst du?

a stereotypical bully phrase of oriental street gang members who want to intimidate somebody who dared to look at them. Pronunciation is then typically more like Wuss kuckstu!

Also a person can

dumm aus der Wäsche kucken

i.e. look stupid after taken by unpleasant surprise by something.
