Can you combine this with 'mitai'?　Like:
楽しそうな所みたいです。
Or is that too redundant?

It sounds redundant to me, but I do not have a grammar rule popping up in my head that explicitly forbids it.

okay, thank you. I'll probably avoid using it like that for now though ^^

Hello guys. I watched an Anime and now I am thinking about the grammar of a sentence. Anime: Bakemonogatari EP 2, Minute 16～ "私を犯そうとしたら..." = "as he tried to rape me..." In this sentence, I am not sure about, if this grammar is correct or just casual speaking. Is there a rule, which says, that a verb can fuse together with "そうだ". :o "私を犯すそうとしたら" sounds really bad, so I am thinking about a rule. You got an idea? PS: sorry for my bad english, I am not a native speaker. :P

This will help! https://new.renshuu.org/grammar/87/ If you're not in beta renshuu, that link might not work. If it doesn't, try searching ようとする in the grammar dictionary.

The construction example for うまい is bound to the wrong dictionary entries (it shows the kanji as 旨居そうだ).

the negative version changes to なさそうだ shouldnt it have its own post, because it just have the noun version but not for the な形容詞　い形容詞　

いAいく　＋　なさそうだ

なAじゃ　＋　なさそうだ

Nじゃ　＋　なさそうだ

[補足]

動詞の場合は「Vます　＋　そうもない／そうにない／そうにもない」と言う。

例）給料は上がりそうもない。

I don't have the time at the moment to do an expansion of any existing pages, but it's definitely worth considering in the future.
