"Apan liknar dig."

Translation: The monkey looks like you.

[Arnauti]

I think this sentence was inspired by Olle Ljungström's song En apa som liknar dig. On YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBQN_jTkH-8

Swedish friend told me that children reply this if somebody says "What are you looking at?"

[Arnauti]

That's true :D

[torowan]

To which any duolingo user I know can have only one reply: now that must be a very fine and intelligent looking monkey.

True facts

Intressant!

[DmitryReve]

Buy the way the singer pronounces "r" there like in English. Eller verkar det till mig?

[Zzzzz...]

Finns det ett annat ord för "an ape"?

[Zmrzlina]

If you want to be specific, you can use schimpans, orangutang, gorilla etc.

[deactivated user]

Please what is the difference between "liknar" and "ser ut som". Tack

[devalanteriel]

"resemble" vs "look like", essentially.

[Lundgren8]

No, it’s the same. You can talk about människoapa though if you want to be specific.

[ErixTheRed]

So you really don't distinguish the two? How do primatologists refer to one group or the other?

[Lundgren8]

They probably say hominider or something, but in everyday speech both monkeys and apes are is apor.

jätteintressant

How about "Apan ser dig ut"?

[Berniebud]

"ser ut som dig" would work. "Ser [_] ut" only works for adjectives.
