To Resemble
To Look Like
intransitive verb, ichidan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means resemble so the verb vocab version is to resemble or to look like.
You should have learned this reading with the kanji, but here's a mnemonic to help you, just in case:
What are you trying to resemble?? Is that... oh no. A knee (に) face resemble surgery, where you make your face look like your knee and vice versa? Do you know how dangerous that surgery is?
このズボン、私がずっと探してたズボンに似てる。
These pants look like the ones I've been trying to find for a while.
長く付き合うカップルは顔が似てくることが多い。
Couples who have been together for a long time often end up looking alike.
最初はお母さんに似ていると思っていたけど、だんだんお父さんにも似てきたね！

たまたまここまで似るのは流石になくない？パクリって言われてもしょうがない気がする。
Isn't it unlikely that they look this similar by coincidence? I think it's fair if people call it a rip-off.
