Usage info

The Russian word мни́тся roughly means "it seems," "it appears," or "it is imagined."

More precisely: It refers to something appearing to someone in their imagination — often not real, just a feeling or perception.

It’s a bit literary or old-fashioned compared to more common words like кажется (also "seems").
