Tips to remember the word “cómo”:
– Associate “cómo” with its English counterpart “how” by remembering the similar “co-” sound at the beginning.
– Remember the famous phrase “¿Cómo estás?” which means “How are you?” an often used greeting in Spanish.

Explanations:
– “Cómo” is used to ask about the manner or way in which something is done.
– It is an interrogative and exclamatory pronoun in Spanish.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “De qué manera” can also be used to ask “in what way” something is done, though it is less common than “cómo”.

Alternate meanings / slang:
– In certain contexts, “cómo” can be an expression of surprise akin to saying “What?” or “Wow!” in English.
– In some regions, the phrase “¡Cómo no!” means “Of course!” or “Certainly!”

Examples of sentences using “cómo”:
– ¿Cómo te llamas? (What’s your name?)
– ¿Cómo se escribe tu nombre? (How do you spell your name?)
– No sé cómo resolver este problema. (I don’t know how to solve this problem.)
– ¡Cómo has crecido! (How you’ve grown!)
– Dime cómo llegaste a esta conclusión. (Tell me how you came to this conclusion.)
– ¿Cómo que no vienes a la fiesta? (What do you mean you’re not coming to the party?)

Tips to remember the word ‘como’:
1. Associate ‘como’ with the English words it translates to, “like” or “as”. Picture comparison scenarios in which you could use “like” or “as” or when asking “how” something is done.
2. Think of “como” as a versatile utility word in Spanish, similar to a Swiss army knife in language form.

Explanations:
‘Como’ can function as several parts of speech in Spanish:
– A conjunction (similar to “as” or “since”) to explain the reason for something.
– A comparative (like “as” or “like”) for making comparisons.
– As an adverb or interrogative (like “how”) when asking about the manner or way in which something is done.

Other words that mean the same thing:
1. ‘Tal como’ – exactly like, just as
2. ‘Así como’ – as well as, just like
3. ‘Igual que’ – the same as

Alternate meanings/slang:
1. In some contexts, ‘como’ can mean “I eat” as the first-person singular of the verb ‘comer’.
2. Informally, ‘como’ followed by ‘que’ is often used in speech as a filler, similar to the English “like,” without a specific meaning, e.g., “Como que no sé qué hacer.”
3. ‘Como sea’ is a colloquial expression meaning ‘whatever’, ‘however it may be’ or ‘anyway’.

Examples of sentences that use ‘como’:
1. Conjunction: “Como llovía, cancelaron el partido.” (Since it was raining, they canceled the match.)
2. Comparative: “Eres tan alto como tu hermano.” (You are as tall as your brother.)
3. Adverb/Interrogative: “¿Cómo estás?” (How are you?)
4. First-person singular of ‘comer’: “Yo como una manzana.” (I eat an apple.)
5. Filler word: “Entonces, como que no sabía qué responder.” (So, like, I didn’t know what to answer.)
6. Colloquial expression: “Hazlo como sea, pero asegúrate de que esté listo hoy.” (Do it whatever way, but make sure it’s ready today.)
