Definition
模样 (mú yàng) refers to a person's appearance or look, often with a sense of overall impression. It is similar to 样子 (yàng zi) but 模样 is more about the specific facial features or general look, while 样子 can also mean 'way, manner, style'. 模样 also has a second meaning: 'approximately, about' when used after a number or age (e.g., 三十岁模样 'around thirty').
