verte is 'ver + te' ?
I learned 'Mucho tiempo sin verte'
in that sentence, the word 'verte' is 'ver + te'?
if it is right, is it common in spanish to connect two words in one word?

Hola,
When an infinitive verb you can add the this kind of pronoun at the end of the verb.
I (Yo) ..........................................................pronoun: Me
Tú (you) ........................................................ pronoun: Te
Él/Ella/Usted (He/She/You in formal way).........pronoun: Se
etc,......
Hace tiempo que no TE veo
Llevo tiempo sin verTE
***And yes, is common connect two words in one word in Spanish specially verbs.

Verte is more like "te veo a ti" since "ver te" is not the correct form. In some cases, the word can be broken up, such as these:
> Puedo ayudarte or te puedo ayudar (I can help you)
> Lo quiero comprar or quiero comprarlo (I want to buy it)

If it is in infinitive or gerund (present continuous), verb and pronoun are written together in one word with the pronoun at the back
VERTE = TO SEE YOU
VIÉNDOTE = SEEING YOU
But when conjugated , it is written separately and before the verb...
TE VEO = I SEE YOU
TE VI = I saw you
LA VI = I saw her

Literally is "seeing you", that is why the verb is in infinitive tense and the pronoun is added at the end. SIN VERTE, literally, without seeing you (I have not SEEN YOU you for a long time)
