parecer/parecerse - to look like

[willitooo6789]

hola a todos!

can anybody please explain to difference between the verb parecer and its reflexive form parecerse when meaning ''to look like''.

if something looks like something else is it ''parecerse'' e.g. my uncle looks like my father = mi tio se parece mi padre .. or .. spain doesn't look like england = espana no se parece inglaterra

and if something seems like something is it ''parecer'' e.g. do i look/seem spanish? parezco espanol?

could anybody please help me?! muchisimas gracias!

You might get a better idea from wordreference examples here (http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=parecer).

Non-reflexive means to appear to be / to express an opinion / to give the appearance of. It's often used with a pronoun just to confuse you!

Reflexive means to look/be physically alike.
