Chinese grammar: Appearance with 看起来kanqilai

One of the most common ways to express "it looks like" is to use 看起来 (kànqǐlái). This is what we would use if we wanted to express something like "it seems it's hot outside."

Structure 
Just put 看起来 after the subject, as follows:
subject+看起来+Adject

The subject can be omitted, in which case 看起来 can be followed with a whole statement.

Examples 

Zhè ɡè kàn qǐ lái hěn piào liɑnɡ.
这 个 看 起来 很 漂亮。

This looks very pretty.
