As for the first example, J should be
どうやら彼_は_分からないらしい。
彼が分からないらしい would be, it seems she doesn't know who he
is. (contributor: Miki)
どうやら彼が分からないらしい means someone (who remains
unidentified but not the speaker) cannot discern him.
どうやら彼は分からないらしい means 'he' is not able to
discern something (not dicclosed) as observed by the speaker.
(contributor: bamboo4)
Accordingly, 彼が分からないらしい should be changed to
彼は知らないらしい.
(contributor: bamboo4)
Is the 'somehow' meaning similar to nantoka (なんとか)? If so, there is
no entry for that currently... (contributor: yookoso)
Yes, it seems to be so.
ex#1279, 3933 and 3934 どうやら can be replaced by なんとか.
(contributor: Miki)
#3095
I would say 'どうやら、あの人は判らないらしい。'
#3930
I would say
'どうやら、私はバスの中で財布を盗まれたようだ。'
The other examples are OK. (contributor: Nick)
#3095 どうやら、（あの人は he）あの人が(that man
there)判らないらしい。
#3930 Both …らしい。 and …ようだ。 are fine. (contributor:
Miki)
#3095
彼はどうやら、あの人が誰なのか見分けがつかないようだ。
(contributor: Nick)
〜らしい (I hear that... / Someone says that...)
〜ようだ (It seems that...)
These are not interchangeable. (contributor: Nick)
Perhaps I don't understand. This is what I think from these two phrases:
どうやら、私はバスの中で財布を盗まれたようだ。
It looks like I had my wallet stolen on the bus somehow. (The person has
noticed their wallet is missing all on their own.)
どうやら、私はバスの中で財布を盗まれたらしい
I heard/It seems that I had my wallet stolen on the bus somehow.
(They don't remember what happened on the bus, but someone has told them
later they saw the wallet being stolen. Or maybe someone has told them
their wallet was stolen before they noticed it themselves. However, I don't
think I would have the nerve to tell someone I saw their wallet being
stolen yet didn't say it at the time it was happening...)
Please correct me if I'm wrong. (contributor: Petra)
