Synonyms of "Seem" and their differences
Q:
She seems happy. ve She looks happy. arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
Both can be used for the same meaning, but there is a subtle difference.
"She looks happy" means that somebody visually appears (using your vision) to be happy.
"She seems happy" can be more vague, it CAN be visual, but it is often just how you sense that person to be.
If a girl is smiling and laughing -> "She looks happy."
If a girl is not smiling, but maybe she is dancing, for example, you could say "she seems happy."
It's a tough concept, even in English. You have to feel it. It's also possible to say "she doesn't look happy... but she SEEMS happy."
I hope that helps... ^^ To be even more specific, you can ALWAYS use "she seems happy," but you can only use "she looks happy" if it is visually true.

Q:
seem ve look, look like arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
"You seem a bit sick" and "You look a bit sick." Can be used in almost the same situation.
"You seem a bit sick" - an impression that he is sick (maybe he is not as energetic as usual).
"You look a bit sick" - you can see he is sick (maybe he is pale, or sweating)
"You seem a bit sick" - an impression that he is sick (maybe he is not as energetic as usual).
"You look a bit sick" - you can see he is sick (maybe he is pale, or sweating)
Q:
seem to ve look like to arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
They can be used interchangeably if they mean the way someone or something appears to be. e.g., "He seems (to be) angry. He looks like he is angry". But seems has a broader meaning that includes a "feeling" you have about someone or something. e.g., "It seemed like a good idea at the time (I had the feeling that it was a good idea yesterday, but my feeling about it was wrong)". It would also be natural to say that "it looked like a good idea at the time", but "looked like" implies that your thought was based on appearences rather than feelings. You can't go wrong either way in casual talk, but there is a subtle difference.

Other questions about "Seem"
Q:
He seemed to be happy. bu doğru görünüyor mu?
A:
Of course. In many cases 'he seemed to be happy' sounds wordy.
ex1:) "Before the incident he seemed happy."
sounds much smoother than
"Before the incident he seemed to be happy."
Usually, people skip the 'to be' part (even though it is also grammatically correct).
However, you can place the 'to be' as a reply.
ex2:) "Before the incident, was he happy?"
"He seemed to be."
Sometimes I prefer to use wordier sentences to create a certain tone, so you can use 'to be' as you did if it creates the tone you want.
