Tentang そうだ

The auxiliary verb そうだ has two primary functions in Japanese. It can convey one of the following things:

Hearsay: 伝聞(でんぶん) - Highlighting things that have been heard from other people.

Appearance: 様態(ようたい) - Highlighting the way that things 'appear', or 'seem'.

The appearance nuance is covered in another lesson, so we will focus on hearsay in this grammar point. When used to repeat statements that have been heard from other people/sources, そうだ (or そうです) will be paired with the plain form of a verb or い-Adjective, or a noun/な-Adjective followed by だ.

そうだ always implies that the speaker is not 100% certain about the validity of the information that they are conveying. Due to this, it does not sound as confident as other expressions, like ようだ.

Caution

In order to avoid confusion between the そうだ that is used for repeating information, and the そうだ that is used for making observations, the following differences will need to be memorized.

Verbs -

降(ふ)るそうだ - Unaltered verb, そうだ that is repeating information.

降(ふ)りそうだ - Conjunctive form, そうだ that is used for making observations.

い-Adjectives -

寒(さむ)いそうだ - Unaltered adjective, そうだ that is repeating information.

寒(さむ)そうだ - い removed, そうだ that is used for making observations.

Nouns and な-Adjectives -

綺麗(きれい)だそうだ - だ is used before そうだ. This is repeating information.

綺麗(きれい)そうだ - No だ between the な-Adjective and そうだ. This is making an observation.

        I came to this thread to ask for clarification on the big yellow warning at the beginning of the lesson stating: Do not confuse with the form of そう used with word stems.

        [Unexpected sidequest]
        <sidequest>OMG I just had a surprise when pasting that text. I had no idea the そう was a hyperlink! I use the Android app for my lessons/reviews, and I just tested it there and it doesn’t even work as a link there. But I also never would have guessed to try, because it doesn’t look like a link in either the Android app or the web app. I only went to the web app just now on my desktop to copy and paste the text above, and the pasting led to the surprise. So you might want to annotate those links with underlines (although you might want to not do that in the Android app if they don’t actually work as links… though obviously making...

        I’d say there is quite a big difference between the two usages. “Very similar” would perhaps imply that one could mistake these usages with each other, or use one instead of the other as a simplification/approximation in a casual chat. But you can’t.

        Yes, in both cases the speaker hedges the statement as not 100% reliable, but for very different reasons.

        降りそうだ is the speaker’s personal estimation, and an admission that it might be incorrect, and ...

        Agreed, I definitely was not suggesting the coincidence was anything more than that. The all-knowing robot agrees for whatever that is worth.
