language- parecer

The word "parecer" means "to seem". In daily conversation with my family, I have needed to use this word, and have realized over time that there are many ways to use it. 

The first way it can be used is to describe something as "seems". For example, you can say, "este parece facil" (this seems easy)

Another way to use parecer is with expressive opinion. For example, "vamos a la playa. ¿te parece?" (let's go to the beach. what do you think?)

Parecer can also be used to give an impression. "Parece que fue ayer" (it seems like it was yesterday)

The most recent example of parecer that I have used is to compare people, in which it must be used as a reflexive verb. "el bebé  se parece a su madre" (the baby looks like his mom), or "se parecen mucho" (they are very similar).
