It looks like

In this lesson, I will introduce you how to describe "it looks like" in Japanese. You use そうです following adjective bases to guess what something is like based on your impression. With い-adjectives, you drop the final い and add そうです. ex) おいしい→おいしそうです　たのしい→たのしそうです　たかい→たかそうです With な-adjectives, you drop な and add そうです ex) げんき（な）→げんきそうです　じょうぶ（な）→じょうぶそうです　がんこ（な）→がんこそうです The exception is an adjective いい, which means good. いい changes to よさそうです. <Example Sentences> この　たべもの　は　おいしいです。 This food is tasty. この　たべもの　は　おいしそうです。 This food looks tasty. この　たべもの　は　おいしくなさそうです。 This food does not look tasty. この　とけい　は　たかくないです。 This watch is not expensive. この　とけい　は　たかそうです。 This watch looks expensive. この　とけい　は　たかくなさそうです。 This watch does not look expensive. あの　ひと　は　げんきではないです。 That person is not fine. あの　ひと　は　げんきそうです。 That person looks fine. あの　ひと　は　げんきではなさそうです。 That person does not look fine. この　いす　は　じょうぶではないです。 This chair is not durable. この　いす　は　じょうぶそうです。 This chair looks durable. この　いす　は　じょうぶではなさそうです。 This chair does not look durable. この　とけい　のほうが　あの　とけい　より　よさそうです。 It looks like, this watch is better that that one. これ　は　たのしそうな　えいが　です　ね。 It looks like, this is the interesting movie. あの　ひと　は　おいしそうな　たべもの　を　たべていまｓ。 That person is eating some food which look tasty. これ　たべる。 Do you eat this? いや　まずそうだから　いいや。 No, I don't.
