How to say "You make it seem (___)? Say I'm speaking to someone and they seem to be making a certain claim, and I wish to respond with "You seem to think it is __". For example, "You seem to think it's totally easy". And "You make it seem __" . For example, "You make it seem so bad". I'd also like to know how to say this indirectly. Like "'THEY make it seem __", or "They seem to think___" Answers are all so very appreciated, as always!!

Because the circumstance is not known, it is difficult to translate a sentence, anyway, I tried. You seem to think it's bad. それは、悪いものだと思っているようですね。 You seem to think it's like nothing. 何でもないものと思っているようですね。 You seem to think it's totally easy. とても簡単だと思っているようですね。 You make it seem so bad. とても悪いもののように考えていますね。/思っていますね。/悪いもののように決めつけていますね。/悪いもののように(私達を)思わせますね。 You make it seem like nothing. それは何でもないものと思っていますね。/何でもないように思わせますね。/何でもないような事を言いますね。 You make it looks so easy. あなたは、それは、簡単なものであるかのように(私達を)思わせますね。/簡単なものであるかのような素振りをしますね。/言い方をしますね。 You make it look like its magic vine. あなたは、それを魔法の蔓のように見せる。 '”make it seems " means that make it seem/look--- by means of ~ (usually behaviour or saying), therefore, when you translate it to Japanese you need to translate "by means of ~" although the part is not described in English sentence. You seem to think ~ ~と思っているよう。
