Question

Learning Spanish , most time confusing me.

Apetecer, parecer, what else?

Answer 1

As I mentioned in your other thread gustar-like verbs does not signify that the have a synonymous meaning of "to like". It refers to verbs that normally form intransitive sentences using indirect objects like gustar does.

• aburrir..... to bore
• fascinar..... to be fascinating to
• bastar..... to be sufficient
• importar..... to be important to
• caer bien (mal)..... to (not) suit
• interesar..... to be interesting to
• dar asco..... to be loathsome
• molestar..... to be a bother
• disgustar..... to hate something
• parecer..... to appear to be
• doler (o:ue)..... to be painful
• picar..... to itch
• encantar..... to "love" something
• quedar..... to be left over, remain
• faltar..... to be lacking something
• volver (o:ue) loco..... to be crazy about

I asked other spanish friend, one told me ,The usage of parece is different from gustar.I am confused. - zhmelissa, Dec 21, 2010

I'm Uruguayan, so I speak spanish, and parecer is different than gustar, formally about the "intransitive sentences" maybe, but that's not speaking, that's overstudying a language, has no practical application - caelus, Dec 22, 2010

Parecer has several uses and only one is like gustar. Even gustar can be used differently than the usual "verbs like gustar" explanation. Quedar is usually not used this way either. - lorenzo9, Dec 22, 2010

Answer 2

And to be formal parecer could be: verbo copulativo verbo intransitivo verbo transitivo verbo pronominal sustantivo masculino

In the actual case that was brought by you the use is as a "verbo transitivo" "parecen de mala calidad.."

But thats it, i will not argue anymore, there is no point.
