How (greeting)
The word "how" is a pop culture anglicization of the Lakota word ', a Lakota language greeting by men to men. The term ''how'' is often found in stereotypical and outdated depictions of Native Americans, made by non-Natives, in some Hollywood movies and various novels, e.g. those of James Fenimore Cooper or Karl May. Background The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (OED) gives [] ("how") as the pronunciation, and claims Jesuit missionary Jean de Brébeuf had described the use of the term as an interjection of approval with the Wyandot people, Wyandot (Hurons). De Brébeuf described individual speakers using ''Condayauendi Ierhayde cha nonhwicwahachen'' to signify the end of their speaking, which was answered by the community with a long "Hooow".

How (video Game)
''How'' (stylized as ''HOW'') is a 2D platform game for Microsoft Windows. It was released in 2012 as freeware by Danish video game developer Michael Jensen. It has high difficulty level which includes unexpected traps. Gameplay The game plays like any standard 2D platform game in which the player can move the main character, Foxy McBox, through the level with the arrow keys and jump, but unlike in most games of its genre, the character cannot be controlled once in mid-air and will need forward momentum in order to jump in any direction, making it very difficult to make it through even some of the earliest stages. Instead of following a preset path, players have the choice of taking on the levels in any order they want, something that can be used to the player's advantage by, for example, avoiding very difficult levels. Development The developer decided to start creating the game after complaining across several game developer forums about the "extreme hand-holding of the player ...

How (TV Series)
''How'' (currently stylised as ''HOW'') is a British educational television programme created by Jack Hargreaves. It was produced from 1966 by Southern Television, for whom Hargreaves was a presenter and deputy programme controller. It lasted until 1981, when the company lost its franchise to TVS. History ''How'' was originally devised by Hargreaves for an audience of adults returning home from the pub. Its aim would be to give facts and demonstrations that could settle arguments or be used as pub tricks. A one-off pilot was broadcast at 11.15pm on 22 March 1966, to viewers in the Southern Television area only. Following the pilot, Hargreaves felt the show might work better in an afternoon slot, aimed at making facts fun for children. Thus, at 5.25pm on 25 April 1966, Southern began live transmission of the first programme in the series of ''How'', which would continue in a similar format for the next 15 years. Produced in Southern's Southampton studios, it provided answers t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

They may be used in both direct questions (''Where is he going?'') and in indirect questions (''I wonder where he is going''). In English and various other languages the same forms are also used as relative pronouns in certain relative clauses (''The country where he was born'') and certain adverb clauses (''I go where he goes''). It can also be used as a modal, since question words are more likely to appear in modal sentences, like (''Why was he walking?'') A particular type of interrogative word is the interrogative particle, which serves to convert a statement into a yes–no question, without having any other meaning. Examples include ''est-ce que'' in French, ли ''li'' in Russian, ''cz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
