Maneno "appear" na "emerge" yote yanaashiria kitu kinachoonekana, lakini kwa njia tofauti. "Appear" inamaanisha kitu kuonekana ghafla au bila kutarajiwa, au kuwa wazi. Kwa mfano, "The magician appeared on stage." (Mchawi alionekana jukwaani). "Emerge" inamaanisha kitu kutoka mahali pa kujificha au kutoka kwenye shida. Mara nyingi hutumika kuelezea kitu kinachotoka kutoka mahali pagumu au kisichoonekana vizuri. Kwa mfano, "The rabbit emerged from the hat." (Sungura alitoka kwenye kofia). Tofauti nyingine ni kwamba "appear" inaweza kutumika kwa vitu na watu, wakati "emerge" hutumika zaidi kwa vitu au hali.
