What is the difference between 近来 and 最近？
大家好，Hi everyone.
Am I correct that both （近来）and (最近） both mean (Recently) ?
If I want to say, Recently, I haven't seen him, what is the best way to say that.
Should I say
1- 我近来没有看到他 。。。。 OR
2- 我最近没有看到他
If both sentences are correct, Please give me examples of the difference in use between both of them.
Thanks a million

There's no big difference in ur context. But 近来 is more formal, kind of a literal word I think，but used to ask daily things. Eg. 近来可好？
Also 最近 can be followed by a period of time but 近来 cannot. Like u can say"最近几天我很难过 and u can't say "近来几天

Yes, “近来” is a formal expression. If you use it in a causal setting, people might consider you artsy unless you want be a little humorous among friends.
