What does “me resulta familiar” mean in Spanish?

A small phrase that sounds backwards to English ears. Me resulta familiar means “it feels familiar to me.” The thing is the subject, and me is you, the person who feels it. The clip says Esa calle me resulta familiar (“that street feels familiar to me”). You are not saying “I am familiar with the street.” You are saying the street gives you that familiar feeling. The verb resultar here means “to come across as” or “to feel.”

You can swap the adjective: Me resulta difícil (“it feels hard to me”), Me resulta raro (“it feels strange to me”). Same shape as me gusta: the thing acts on you. Note familiar here means “familiar,” not “family member,” though Spanish familiar can mean both.
