In this second video about Perception verbs, we are going to learn ADJECTIVES or NOUNS followed by PERCEPTION VERBS.
In particular, we'll cover the expressions "-見える(MIERU)", which is translated as "it seems like" or "it looks like" and "-聞こえる(KIKOERU)", which means "it sounds".
Syntactically, kikoeru and mieru both work the same way as NARU(なる) and NARIMASU (なります): they take the complement as an adverb.
Also, I(い)-Adjectives change to -KU (く) and NA(な)-Adjectives and NOUNs change to -NI(に).
Let's see this in detail and with examples so you can understand it easily!
