To express "seems," the word 好像 (hǎoxiàng) is used.

Structure

The structure for this is:

Subject + 好像 + [Observation]

Note that if this structure is used without a subject, it has the meaning of "it seems that..." in English. This could then be followed by an entire statement.

Examples

Some examples:

  • 他们 好像 是 朋友 。
  • 小 猫 好像 饿 了。
  • 外面 好像 有 声音!是 不 是 小偷?
  • 好像 要 下雨 了。
