怎么样
zěn me yàng
Asking how something is with "zenmeyang"
怎么样 asks for an assessment — how is it, how's it going, what do you think?
Topic + 怎么样 ?
How it works
你最近怎么样? is "how have you been?". 这个餐厅怎么样? asks for an opinion on the restaurant.
It also floats a proposal: 明天去，怎么样? — how about going tomorrow?
Keep it apart from 怎么, which asks about method. 怎么去? is how do I get there; 去怎么样? is how about going.
