N4 · Other · plain form + みたいだ

seems like; looks like

plain form + みたいだ

みたいだ is a conversational 'looks like/seems like,' used for comparison or inference.

It attaches directly after nouns and plain forms and is more casual than ようだ.

あの二人は兄弟みたいです。

Those two look like brothers.

Avoid みたいだ in formal reports; ようだ is more appropriate.

Learn みたい as the casual version of 'like/seems.'
