Definitions and meanings of "Seem"

What do we mean by seem?

To give the impression of being in a certain way; appear to be. intransitive verb

Used to call attention to one's impression or understanding about something, especially in weakening the force of a following infinitive. intransitive verb

To appear to be probable or evident. intransitive verb

To be fit or suitable.

To appear; have or present an appearance of being; appear to be; look or look like; in a restricted sense, be in appearance or as regards appearance only.

To appear; be seen; show one's self or itself; hence, to assume an air; pretend.

In an impersonal reflexive use, to appear: with the person in the dative, later apparently in the nominative as the quasi-subject of seem in the sense of ‘think, consider’: as, me seem, him seemed, they seemed, the people seemed, it seems to me, it seemed to him, them, or the people (meseems being often written as a single word).

To appear to one's self; imagine; feel as if: as, I still seem to hear his voice; he still seemed to feel the motion of the vessel.

Synonyms Seem, Look, Appear. Look differs from seem only in more vividly suggesting the use of the eye, literally or figuratively: as, it looks (or seems) right. Appear is somewhat stronger, having sometimes the sense of coming into view or coming to seem. Each may stand for that which is probably true, or in opposition to that which is true: not to seem, but to be; the seeming and the real. Should seem and would seem are equally correct, but differ in strength. To say that a thing should seem to be true is to say that it ought to seem so or almost necessarily seems so; to say that it would seem true is to say that, while there are reasons for holding an opposite view, the preponderance of evidence is on the side of its being true.

To become; beseem; befit; be fit, suitable, or proper for.

To appear, or to appear to be; to have a show or semblance; to present an appearance; to look; to strike one's apprehension or fancy as being; to be taken as. intransitive verb
