Looks and appearances

Question

I know that aperecer means something appears a certain way, but how do you comment on the look of something? Like "that chair looks old" or "you look beautiful", or things like that? Do you only use aperecer?

Thanks : )

Answer 1

wouldn't it be "te ves bien hoy?"

Yeah, I think it's just that Dj Huero misspelled it. :) - LAtINaPunKROcKerAConFundidA, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 2

Aparecer, not aperecer.

¡esa silla parece vieja!

¡Parece tan bonita!

Answer 3

Thank you all : ) So what if you're talking about somebody else then? Like if you're saying that person looks nice or something. Would it be "le ve bien"?

Answer 4

Te vez bien = you look nice

Ejemplo:

¡Te vez bien hoy! (meaning "You look nice today!")

That works great too! I think it just all depends upon the situation. :) - LAtINaPunKROcKerAConFundidA, Dec 1, 2009

Is that vez or ves (you look)? - 0074b507, Dec 1, 2009

Answer 5

Lucir is another way to say how someone looks.

Luce muy joven = she looks very young
