I noticed a pattern in chinese where you take three words and put them together to create a verb or an adjective, for example:
了不起
想不起
找不到
听起来
看起来
Is this actually a grammatical rule?
了不起
想不起
找不到
听起来
看起来
Is this actually a grammatical rule?

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
@TalOplatka
The usage of the following English words is similar to those mentioned three words Chinese.
look like
taste like
feel like
sound like
smell like
