-MIŞ GİBİ

  

This structure, instead of  conveying  “hearsay”  denotation, it actually  refers a result of an action. It conveys “ probable definite past

 

- Daha önce golf oynamış gibiydi.

 

It looked like [to me] he played golf  before.

 

* In the sentence above, I came to a conclusion from “they way he plays golf ” that “he must have played golf before. ”

 

- Buraya ilk kez gelmiş gibiydiler.

 

It looked like [to me] they came here first time.

 

 

From the way they acted /reacted , it looked to me that they didn’t come here before.
