How to Study This Meaning Group
The English word "seemingly" covers 2 different Chinese characters — 佛 (fó / fú), 仿 (fǎng) — and each is its own word with its own feel. These 2 characters do not share a sound — their readings span fó, fú, fǎng — so confirm the pinyin and tone for each one separately. The example sentences further down show how 佛 and the others are actually used, so you learn them in context rather than as a single translation.
