Stop Saying “What Means…?” – Here’s the Right Way!

You’re sitting in a café, trying to remember a word in English. You turn to your colleague and ask, “What means…?“

Oops! It sounds as if it should be right, but it’s not.

Instead, here’s what you should say:

1. “How do you say [word] in English?”

2. “What’s the English word for [something]?”

These questions are much clearer and correct.

Picture yourself confidently asking for the word you need and your colleague giving you the perfect answer. Much better, right?

Remember this tip, and you’ll sound like a pro in no time.
