It is used to ask about a method or manner.
It can naturally be used with particles or independently as an interrogative adverb. Although ‘어떻게’ is related to the ‘어떻-’ group, here it functions independently to ask about a method. At the end of a polite question, it combines well with ‘-죠?’ and ‘-습니까?’
