Question

when do you use "como"? Is it applicable for all "how" usages?

Answer 1

You know, I've been thinking about this question for a while, and I do think that "Cómo" is applicable to all "how" usages.

I think the only thing you need to pay attention to is the accent.

If we DO put on an accent, as in "Cómo," it means, "How."

For example: ¿Cómo estas? means "How are you?"

But if we DON'T put on an accent, as in "Como," it means "like," or "as."

For example: "Yo soy Americano, como tú," means, "I am American, like you."
