@handinhandmandarin: 👉 Differences:看起来 vs 看来 1️⃣ 看起来 is based on a direct visual impression. You see something with your own eyes, and then form an impression of it. ✅ Subject + 看起来 + 很 / 非常 / 不 + Adjective - 这道菜看起来很好吃。 This dish looks delicious. If you want to use a noun, you usually need to add 像 (“like”) before it. ✅ Subject + 看起来 + 像 + Noun - 他看起来像坏人。He looks like a bad guy. 2️⃣ 看来 is used when making a conclusion based on some information or evidence. You don’t have to see it directly. ✅ 看来 + conclusion - 他的衣服湿了,看来外面下雨了。 His clothes are wet.It seems that it’s raining outside. #mandarin #learnchinese #learnmandarin #chineseforbeginners #chineselearning
