Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese word '似乎 (sìhū)' is often used to convey the sense that an event seems to be the case or a person or a thing seems to have a certain characteristic. It is similar to saying 'seems' or 'appears to be' in English. '似乎' allows the speaker to express uncertain or indirect observations or assumptions.
