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

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.

  • 他们 好像 要结婚了 。They seem to be getting married.
  • 小 猫 好像 饿 了。The small cat seems to be hungry.
  • 好像 要 下雨 了。It seems like it's going to rain.
