How to translate how
Choose the way of translating this concept based on the meaning you're trying to get across. Note that tion does not mean "what," but "what" is added to make the question make sense in English.
Used as conjunction
de meg: by which, by what
Used as a question
Note that all translations are very loose, because "tion" does not on its own have the meaning of "what"; rather, it is used to indicate a question.
