When do you use wie and was in German? For example: What is your name? I understand you ask the question with wie instead of was.
What is the difference between "wie" and "was" in a certain context?
The most similar phrase in English seems to me "what's that?" (I'm not native in English and could be wrong). Why is "wie" used here? In other words, if "Wie bitte?" is expanded in its full, what would it be? As a side question, is there any (commonly used) expression using "was" to mean the listener did not catch what the other was saying?
1 I've started learning German only recently and as far as I know Wie is how in English and Was is what. However, I have noticed that sometimes it says Wie where it would be more logical to say Was. For example, in my book it says "Wie ist deine Adresse?" Can anyone explain what types of questions use Wie and what types use Was?
The verb in the question ("wie alt bist du?") implies that the same verb must be in an answer.
