Used after verbs, indicating the action's influence extends to other places, equivalent to “with” or “to”. - Example: 今朝别有承恩处，鹦鹉飞来说似人。 (This morning there's another place of favor, where the parrot flies and speaks like a person.) 8.

To be like something or someone in actions or appearance. - Example: 布衾多年冷似铁，娇儿恶卧踏里裂。 (For years the cloth blanket was as cold as iron; the pampered child treads on it and tears it.) 10. To indicate similarity in a general sense. - Example: 似的 (like); 似乎 (seems); 似然 (so it seems). 11. An additional form of the character is also used as a particle to indicate comparison, as in “似的”、“如…一般” (similar to, as if).
