Usage notes
- Use assomigliare a + noun/pronoun: assomiglia a sua madre. English speakers often wrongly use di or omit a.
- For mutual resemblance, use assomigliarsi: si assomigliano molto. Without si, it usually means one resembles another.
- More common than somigliare in standard Italian; somigliare exists but can sound regional or less neutral.
