One of the most common ways to express "it looks like" is to use 看起来. This is what we would use if we wanted to express something like "it seems it's hot outside."

Structure

Just put 看起来 after the subject, as follows:

Subject + 看起来 + Adjective

The subject can be omitted, in which case 看起来 can be followed with a whole statement.

Examples

  • 这 个 看 起来 很 漂亮。This looks very pretty.
  • 看 起来 很 友好。He looks friendly.
  • 这 些 食物 看 起来 很 好吃。This food looks really tasty.
