Spiegazione

どう means “how.” It is used to ask about manner, condition, or opinion. It can also be used to ask “how is it?” or “how do you do it?” Key points: • どう + Verb = how (do something) • どうですか = how is it? • どうやって = how to do (more specific) • Common in daily conversation Example: “どう行きますか” means “How will you go?” “この映画はどうですか” means “How is this movie?” It is a very flexible question word. Use it to ask about feelings, health, or methods. Practice with simple questions: どうしますか, どうやって作りますか.
