I do not mean to be disrespectful but aren't there more post that are more improper than this one, it could just be a mistake. - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 27, 2015
@Nickelbackfan1: Yes there are, but this person used correct English in the title of the post then did not in the post. You raised a valid question and I think simplysweet will be back and a true asset to the forum as you are. - Jubilado, Dec 27, 2015

Hello simply sweet

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

You asked:

How to ask "how is it here?" in Spanish?

Well, that depends on what you mean exactly by the question, how is it here?

Do you mean how did 'it' (whatever the word 'it' is supposed to mean?) arrive here? (as in end up here?)

Perhaps it would be better / would be a more accurate question to ask: Why is it here? (What caused it to end up here?)

= ¿Por qué está aquí?

In English crime dramas, detectives sometimes ask: What are you doing here?

What they often really mean is not: What are you doing now? (eg: reading, talking , looking out of the window) but what are your motives for coming here? /Why did you come here?

I hope this helps smile

Hola Simply, the answer to you question is Cómo es aquí or Cómo está esto aquí. PS I want to let you know mate, one of the rules here on SD is ''make an attempt use the translator and look before you ask,we do not do your work." Another thing you might want to do is complete your profile so we know your Spanish and English levels so we could help you better, and I am only telling this to you because this is mandatory. smile
