Me suena and me parece

Question

Hi, what's the difference between me suena and me parece? and how are they used? Are they only used like me gusta? (I mean, is the verb is only ever singuar or plural)

Thanks.

Answer 1

"Me suena" when used by itself means "It sounds familiar to me."

Otherwise, it means, "It sounds...to me." For example, "Me suena bien" (It sounds ok to me)

Me parece = It seems to me. ¡Me parece bien! It's essentially like saying, "sounds good to me." So in that sense it means the same thing. But "me parece" is used in different ways as well. For example, "Me parece que el Español es muy difícil de aprender" (It seems to me that Spanish is difficult to learn)

You can always just say, "suena bien," or "parece bien" too (without the "me")

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Tu cara me suena. Your face looks familiar to me.(Like I have seen you before somewhere)
