Se te ve alergre - understanding translation

Se te ve alegre - you seem/look happy.
Can someone please help me understand/breakdown the translation of this sentence? I know that the use of 'ver' is similar to 'parecer', but unfortunately I am still a bit confused on this one.
Thanks

It means "you look happy" or "you appear happy."

Yes, I am comfortable with the translation, but is the te or se part of verse? I'm trying to break it down grammatically. - salevene, Mar 13, 2012
Hi Salevene. The "te" is part of verse, which takes on the english "you look..." meaning when reflexive. Not sure about the "se"... Perhaps the ol' "passive se"? - RedLine55, Mar 13, 2012
