Italian word

apparire

to appear, to seem, to look

Looks like

appear

to come into sight; to seem

⚠️ The trap

These are nearly identical. One note: the Italian past participle is 'apparso', and the passato prossimo uses 'essere' ('è apparso'), not 'avere'. A common grammatical trap for learners.

To say "to come into sight; to seem" in Italian:

N/A (same meaning)

"apparire" in English means:

to appear, to seem, to look

Example

"La situazione appare più grave di quanto pensassimo."

"The situation appears more serious than we thought."
