"What is the difference between snow and ice?"

Translation: 눈과 얼음은 무엇이 다릅니까?

[Saenduwichi]

Why not 어떻게 다릅니까?

[dipagssi]

That would mean "How are snow and ice different?". They both technically convey the same meaning but have a subtle difference (noun vs adjective).

[LesChristiansen]

Doesn't translate into "Are snow and ice different?"

[wintertriangles]

No, it literally says "As for snow and ice, what is different?"

Your sentence would read 눈과 얼음은 다릅니까?

[Hunnypooh1]

눈과 얼음 사이는 뭐 달리예요? is a more direct translation and yet it's considered wrong? Or should I not use 사이 as it can be considered too literal?
