Italian word

sembrare

to seem, to appear, to look like

Looks like

to remember

to recall; to keep in memory

⚠️ The trap

The similarity between 'sembrare' and 'remember' is accidental but confusing for beginners. They are completely unrelated. 'Sembrare' = to seem; 'to remember' = 'ricordare'.

To say "to recall; to keep in memory" in Italian:

ricordare (for to remember)

"sembrare" in English means:

to seem, to appear, to look like

Example

"Sembra stanco oggi."

"He seems tired today."
