It seems (written): dường như

Dường như means "it seems, apparently". It turns a statement into an impression: Dường như thị trường đã bắt đầu phục hồi (it seems the market has begun to recover). It can open the sentence, as there, or sit after the subject, before the verb: Giá nhà dường như không giảm (house prices don't seem to be falling).

It's mainly a written word. You'll meet it in news features and analysis, opinion pieces, papers and fiction, wherever a writer wants to offer a view as an observation rather than a fact. In a paper, it softens a conclusion: Yếu tố này dường như có ảnh hưởng … (this factor seems to have an effect …). It combines naturally with đã (seems to have): Lời cảnh báo dường như đã bị bỏ qua (the warning seems to have been ignored).

In speech, use hình như or có vẻ. Hình như is for what you half know or half remember: Hình như ảnh bệnh rồi (I think he's ill; in Hà Nội, Hình như anh ấy ốm rồi). Có vẻ is about how things look: Chị có vẻ mệt (you look tired). Dường như can do both jobs, but only on the page; said aloud, it sounds like reading from a book.
