Learn 如何 in Chinese (China, Simplified). Build fluency with personalized exercises, chats, and video recommendations.
如何 means "how" or "in what way/manner." It is used to ask about the method or manner of something, similar to "how do I..." or "how to...". It is often followed directly by a verb or the word 做 (zuò, "to do") to form questions like 如何做？ ("how to do?"/"how should I do it?")
Common uses include:
如何 + verb = "how to/what/how do I..." (e.g., 如何学习汉语？ = "How to learn Chinese?")方法 (fāngfǎ, "method/way") often pairs with 如何 = 方法如何？ ("How is the method?"/"How do I do it?")The phrase is somewhat formal/written; in everyday conversation, people often just ask 怎么做？
