How do you say “How do you spell that?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
How do you spell that?
どうやって書くの?
douyatte kakuno
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
どうやって書くんですか?
douyatte kakundesuka
- どうやって douyatte = how
- 書く kaku = write
The literal translation of “どうやって書くの?” is “How do you write that?”.
どうやって
how
+
書くの?
do you write that?
