This sounds like an animation movie

Question

I want to say: esto (me) suena a película de animación.

I am not sure if "this sounds like an animation movie" is correct.

Thank you beforehand.

Answer 1

I should think so because a similar phrase would be "ese título suena bien" - that title sounds okay or that sounds like a good title.

Answer 2

I should think so because a similar phrase would be "ese título suena bien" - that title sounds okay or that sounds like a good title.

OK, I am realising it.

That title sounds okay.- ese título suena bien (sounds + adjective)

That title sounds like a good title.- ese título suena a un buen título. (sounds like + noun).

We need "like" when it is a noun. I was trying to guess that.

Then, "this sounds like an animation movie" should be correct.

Answer 3

Suena a comentario malintencionado. (It sounds like a malicious comment).

Parece un comentario malintencionado. (It seems like a malicious comment).

The two sentences have the same meaning.

Hi Nila,

That title sounds okay.- ese título suena bien (sounds + adjective)

That title sounds like a good title.- ese título suena a un buen título. (sounds like + noun).

We need "like" when it is a noun. I was trying to guess that.

Then, "this sounds like an animation movie" should be correct.

That is an interesting analysis. I have read from several sources that if you follow the verb "sonar" with the preposition "a" (sonar a) then it translates to "sounds like/seems like." In your experience, would you agree with this assertion?
