Explanation

The Japanese verb '見える (みえる)' primarily means 'to be visible' or 'can be seen'. It is used to describe something that is within the range of vision or can be perceived by the eyes. This verb often implies that the subject is naturally visible without any particular effort. For example: The mountain is visible from here「ここから山が見える」(ここからやまがみえる). Additionally, '見える' can also be used to express the idea of 'seeming' or 'appearing' in a certain way, often based on visual perception. For example: She seems happy「彼女は幸せそうに見える」(かのじょはしあわせそうにみえる). It's important to note that '見える' is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take a direct object, unlike its transitive counterpart '見る (みる)' which means 'to see'.
