"Sim, ela parece doente."

Translation: Yes, she seems ill.

[Lexflex]

I wrote "seems, because that is what Duolingo suggested, but could one also say "she APPEARS (TO BE) sick"? Since parece is similar-sounding to appear?

[Cely386728]

That might be, 'Ela parece estar doente'.

[cdjaimesh]

i'm confused @.@
about "parecer", what's the difference between the use of "look like" and "seem"? I've been using both indistinctly and I hadn't had problems so far

[Paulenrique]

yes, they are similar. Sometimes "look like" = parecer-se.

[delvi]

If you wanted to add emphasis, and say, "Yes, she does seem ill." how would you say that?

[Vinicirilo]

Ela parece mesmo estar doente..

Why "Yes, she looks like ill" is wrong?

[LoonyMoon]

You could use "Yeah, it looks like she's ill", but with a slightly different meaning, being "Sim, parece que ela está doente" its translation. Usually, you'll use "look like" + noun when you want to compare something. Example: She looks like her brother. It's a comparision between two people. :)

Or "Yes, she looks ill"
