Using 「みたい」 to say something looks like something else

<div class='writeup-body'>In Japanese, there are many ways to express that something happens in a way that is 'like' something else, or 'resembles' something else. One of these ways is through the use of the な-Adjective, みたい. みたい can be used after any word that a な-Adjective would usually follow, to express that something is 'like (A)', or 'similar to (A)'.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>明日（あした）は雪（ゆき）が降（ふ）るみたいだ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>It seems like it will snow tomorrow.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>そこのプールは浅（あさ）いみたいだ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>That pool over there seems shallow.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>彼（かれ）は地下鉄（ちかてつ）が嫌（きら）いみたいだ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>It seems like he does not like subways.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>その携帯（けいたい）はパソコンみたいだ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>That cellphone looks like a computer.</div></li></ul>In the above examples, we can see that みたい should always be followed by だ (or です) when it is at the end of a statement, however, this is frequently omitted.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>先輩（せんぱい）は今日（きょう）は来（こ）ないみたい。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>It seems like senpai is not coming today.</div></li></ul>みたい is also often used to describe another noun, but needs to be followed by な in these cases. In this type of sentence, it is just expressing that something is '(B), but resembles (A)'.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>彼（かれ）はスポーツ選手（せんしゅ）みたいな体をしている。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>He has a body like an athlete.</div></li></ul>みたい is used most often in conversational situations, and is based on direct, reliable information. It is far less formal than its counterpart, ようだ.<div class='writeup-caution'><div class='caution-header'>Caution</div>Despite みたい meaning 'to resemble', and being based on (usually) visual stimulus, it should not be confused with 見（み）たい 'to want to see'. This is a common mistake that learners make, as みたい itself does not have a kanji form.</div><div class='writeup-funfact'><div class='funfact-header'>Fun Fact</div>みたいだ is originally an abbreviation of the more formal phrase を見たような. As a result of this, we can see that ようだ kept its formal meaning, while みたい became the casual equivalent.</div></div>
