My printer is currently holding hostage half a sheet of mangled paper, and the manual's instructions for clearing jams presume that (1) the "release the grip, darnit" button works and (2) you have access to enough paper to grab hold. I hope this doesn't involve a screwdriver...

But hey, at least one of my appliances is working, so here's another attempt to communicate little nothings in a foreign language.

How do...?

"aich osim x?" = how do (no subject specified) do x?

"aich omrim x?" = how do (n.s.s.) say x? = how do I/you/anyone say x?

Etc. In this case just leave out the subject and put the verb in plural masculine/non-gendered.

It works for questions about the past too: "aich asu x?", "aich banu x?" = how did (n.s.s.) do x?, how did (n.s.s.) build x?
