Can you give me some examples please?

I'm not Korean but here it goes anyway. 알다 is indeed to know but 아세다 isn't a verb it's actually the verb 알다 plus the honorific suffix -시, though the ㄹ gets dropped in the process.
알시어요 becomes 아세요
So for example :
나 알아 ? : Do you know me ? (Impolite form)
저 아세요 ? Do you know me (polite honorific version).
Again I'm not a native speaker hope this helps though 😄

Also not a native speaker, but as another person said 알다 + honorific (으)시 becomes 아세요. This is because of a spelling change where ㄹ before ㅅ is sometimes dropped.
Here's another example:
살다 -> 사세요
To live -> lives (honorific)
