To ask what someone is like in Spanish, you can say: ¿Cómo es?
This phrase is used when you want to learn about the characteristics, personality, or appearance of a person. Here’s a bit more detail on how to use it:
- ¿Cómo es él? – How is he?
- ¿Cómo es ella? – How is she?
- ¿Cómo son ellos? – How are they?
In casual conversation, you can follow up the question with additional specifics, like asking about their interests or personality traits. For instance, ¿Cómo es de carácter? means “What are they like in character?” This helps guide the conversation toward understanding a person’s nature or traits.
