How to say in Korean SOUNDS LIKE or SEEMS LIKE!
This ending, including the -네, is to express your emotion as you supposed to be some sort of surprised.
For example if you want to say:
- Sounds like fun –> 들어 보니 재미 있을 것 같네.
- Sounds like a date –> 들어 보니 , 데이트하는 것 같다 / 듣자 하니, 데이트하는 것 같다.
- Seems like we are going to be late –> 들어 보니 우리 늦을 것 같다/ 보아하니 우리 늦을 것 같다.
- Seems like he is not coming to the meeting –> 들어 보니 그는 미팅에 오지 않을 것 같다/ 보아하니 그는 미팅에 오지 않을 것 같다.
- Sounds like a kidding to me –> 들어 보니 나를 놀리는 것 같다/ 듣자 하니, 나를 놀리는 것 같다
들어 보니~ It is used more when after a short period of conversation and background you want to express: after hearing that…. sounds like(…).
However, 듣자 하니, 보아하니, 들어 보니 means the same.
And a difficult one!
Seems like you know everything. –> 들어 보니 넌 모르는게 없는 것 같네.
Above and as usual, Koreans use two negatives to form the positive.
Hope you enjoyed!

It’s my first time seeing the 하니 form. I will keep an eye for it from now onwards.
