Para mí que se van a casar. Se les ve tan enamorados...I really think that they are going to get married. They seem so in love with each other...Hola, which verb means “to seem”, verse or enamorarse? Word Reference doesn’t show “to seem” for either one. Muchas gracias, Shirley.

Hola Shirley S.

Here, se les ve tan enamorados literally means something like “they are seen as being so in love”, but a natural English translation is “they seem/look so in love.”

The verb is ver, used in the construction verse + adjective to express how someone looks or appears: Se les ve felices = “They look/seem happy.”

I hope this helps!
