らしい holds hearsay and "so very spring" in one hand

Where the picture shows up in らしい

1. 1

   news carried on the air

   田中さん、今日は休みらしいですよ。

   tanaka-san, kyō wa yasumi rashii desu yo

   I hear Tanaka is off today.

   そうだ passes on the exact words you heard; らしい reports what drifted in, with some belief of your own attached.

2. 2

   news with a blurry source

   駅前のパン屋、閉店したらしいです。

   ekimae no pan-ya, heiten shita rashii desu

   The bakery by the station apparently closed down.

3. 3

   what the situation gives off

   どうも私のミスらしいです。

   dōmo watashi no misu rashii desu

   It seems the mistake was mine.

   In an apology, 私のミスらしい sounds like you're talking about someone else. Say 私のミスです.

4. 4

   what a name gives off

   今日は春らしい天気ですね。

   kyō wa haru rashii tenki desu ne

   Really spring-like weather today.

5. 5

   when the scent is missing

   遅刻するなんて、彼らしくないですね。

   chikoku suru nante, kare rashikunai desu ne

   Turning up late — that's not like him.
