सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Iranians value 'indirectness'. Using 'It seems that' allows you to avoid being 'too much' or 'too direct', which is a core part of being 'Ba-shakhsiat' (having a good personality). In classical poetry, the 'Nazar' (glance) of the beloved is a powerful force. This phrase carries a tiny echo of that importance of 'vision' and 'perception'. Iranian news anchors use this phrase constantly to report unconfirmed reports, maintaining a sense of professional distance and objectivity. In the hustle of Tehran, people use the shortened 'mi-rese' to speculate about everything from subway delays to the price of gold.
Use the Subjunctive
For extra 'native' points, use the subjunctive mood after 'ke' (e.g., 'be nazar mi-resad ke bi-ayad').
Don't over-conjugate
Remember, it's always 'mi-resad', never 'mi-resam' or 'mi-resi' in this phrase.
