Yes, you can.
Any and all OOG mechanical calls, including weapon swings, spell incants, defensives, or ANYTHING like that is immediately recognizable for what it is. If someone calls "resist," your character is aware that the resisting target is somehow calling upon an inner facet of its spirit or its physiology to protect itself, but likely will not be able to do so forever. Same with things like "Reduced" or "No effect": You can see that your assault is either simply not as effective as it otherwise ought to be, or is in fact completely useless.
