Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Japanese
There are several ways.
1:"~のように見える(~のようにみえる)"
2:"(まるで)~みたいだ"
3:"(まるで)~のようだ"
4:"~っぽい"
2, 3, 4 could be translated as "seem like ~", "like~"...
Examples(He looks like a boy.)
1:男の子のように見える(おとこのこのようにみえる)
2:まるで男の子ようだ
3:まるで男の子みたいだ
4:男の子っぽい
Hope it helps!
