I've got to do it "somehow"

Question

Tengo que hacerlo de alguna manera o de algun modo.... ? So alguna manera or algun modo is somehow? Gracias.

Answer 1

hmm, this is possible, but I would say:

Tengo que hacerlo como sea

So como sea is better for somehow? Is de alguna manera / de algun modo weird then and sounds weird? Gracias. - jeezzle, Sep 3, 2010

What does como sea really mean here? However I can? However it is? However possible? - jeezzle, Sep 3, 2010

"De algún modo" is perfectly correct, but it sounds a bit too elaborated sometimes, especially when you have simpler options. "Como sea" sounds very natural for people with low education and for people with PhD in Spanish. - lazarus1907, Sep 3, 2010

Como sea it is then. - jeezzle, Sep 3, 2010

Answer 2

You can also say, "Por una manera u otra, lo tengo que hacer."
