resultar
Resultar means 'to turn out' — but also fills gaps where Spanish avoids ser or tener, especially with 'me resulta'.
resultar (turn out)
To turn out, to prove to be, or to end up.
La película resultó aburrida.
The film turned out to be boring.
Unexpected evaluation after the fact.
Resulta que no tenía dinero.
It turns out that he had no money.
Resulta que = it turns out that. A great narrative opener.
El plan resultó ser un desastre.
The plan turned out to be a disaster.
Resultar ser + noun.
resultar (gustar-style)
To be or seem, with an indirect object — it 'resultas' something to you.
Me resulta difícil entenderlo.
I find it hard to understand.
Me resulta + adjective = I find it. Smoother than 'es difícil para mí'.
Me resulta raro verte aquí.
It's strange to see you here.
Personal reaction to a situation.
Resultaron heridas tres personas.
Three people were injured.
News language: resultar herido = to be injured.
Tricky bit
'Resultar' is often a more elegant way to say 'ser' or 'encontrar': 'me resulta imposible' = I find it impossible. Don't confuse it with 'resultado' (the noun) in other places.
