===============================================
looks like; seems like; appears to

な-adjective + げ
い-adjective - い + げ
Irregular: いい/よい - よさ+ げ
Verb ます (stem form) - ます + げ
Verb たい (tai form) - い + げ
Noun (very limited) + げ

This is used it to describe something or someone (not yourself) who looks, seems, appears to.
It is similar to そうに・そうなbut げis much more restricted with what words it can be paired with.
It is usually used to describe things like one’s emotions or state of being, whereas そう can be used with more general things like weather, climate, atmosphere etc.

寂しげ：looks lonely
悲しげ：looks sad
楽しげ：looks to be having fun
満足げ：looks satisfied
不満げ：looks dissatisfied
言いたげ：looks wanting to say
買いたげ：looks wanting to buy
自信ありげ：looks having confidence
興味なさげ：looks having no interest
自慢げ：boastful

The げ form turns the い adjective into a な adjective; alternatively it can be followed by に and used as an adverb.


彼女は寂しげな顔をしている。 She looks lonely.

In this example げな describes the expression on the girl's face - the adjective 寂 しい (lonely) has been modified to function as a な adjective:


彼は不満げに何かをぶつぶつ言っている。He is mumbling something dissatisfactory.

In this example げに modifies 不満(dissatisfied), so that it functions as an adverb.


外に出ようとすると、うちの猫は悲しげな声で「ミャー」と鳴く。
When I try to go outside, my cat meows in a sad voice.

This project was done according to the director's opinion, so he looked very satisfied.


彼は自慢げに、自分の娘がどんなに優秀であるかを親戚中に語った。

A なにか、言いたげだね。
B いや…別になんでもない。

A: "You look like you want to say something."
B "No... nothing in particular…”
