Questions & Answers about Me parece muy cara esta plataforma.

Why is the verb parece instead of parezco if the sentence is about my opinion?

Because parecer works just like gustar. The actual subject of the sentence is esta plataforma (this platform), so the verb is in the 'it' form (parece). The word me just tells us who the platform seems expensive to.

Why is esta plataforma at the very end of the sentence?

In English, we usually put the subject first. But with verbs like gustar and parecer, Spanish speakers frequently put the subject at the end. You could absolutely say Esta plataforma me parece muy cara, but putting the subject at the end flows very naturally in Spanish.

Why do we use cara instead of caro here?

The word cara (expensive) describes plataforma, which is a feminine noun. Adjectives must always match the gender of the noun they describe, even when they are separated by a verb like parece.

Can I use me parece to mean 'I think'?

Yes! While the literal translation is 'it seems to me', Spanish speakers use me parece all the time to express their personal opinions, much like we use 'I think' or 'I believe' in English.
