Tips to remember ‘parezco’:
– Associate ‘parezco’ with ‘I resemble’ or ‘I seem’, as ‘parecer’ in English means ‘to seem’ or ‘to look like’.
– Think of the word ‘parent’ to help you connect ‘parezco’ with appearance or semblance since often family resemblance is a context where you might say “I look like my parent.”
– Remember that ‘parezco’ starts with ‘pare-‘, which is similar to ‘par-‘ in ‘parallel’, suggesting likeness or similarity between two things.

Explanations:
– ‘Parezco’ is the first-person singular present indicative form of the verb ‘parecer’, which means ‘to seem’ or ‘to appear’.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– ‘Lucir’ can sometimes be similar in the context of appearance.
– ‘Seem’ or ‘appear’ in English.
