To express your impression of a situation, use the impersonal expression **به نظر می‌رسد** (it seems) followed by **که** (that). This is built from the infinitive **به نظر رسیدن**.

{{item:785696}}

When stating a clear observation, the verb in the following clause stays in the indicative form.

{{item:785699}}

{{item:785704}}

### Using the Subjunctive for Doubt

If you want to express uncertainty, or if the expression is negative (**به نظر نمی‌رسد** - it does not seem), use the subjunctive in the following clause to reflect that doubt.

{{item:785707}}

{{item:785709}}

### Modifying the Expression Itself

Like any verb phrase, **به نظر می‌رسد** takes the subjunctive if it follows expressions that require it, such as **ممکن است** (it is possible). In this case, **می‌رسد** becomes **برسد**.

{{item:785713}}

### In Spoken Persian

In casual conversation, **به نظر می‌رسد** is typically shortened to **به نظر می‌رسه**.
