how does one distinguish between 얼마나 and 어떻게?
얼마나 is "how _" as in to what extent, like how much. 어떻게 is a methodical "how"
얼마나 걸려? - how long does it take? // 어떻게 해? = how do you do it?
In this sentence if you said 치킨은 어떻게 싱거워? it sounds like "how is it possible that the chicken is bland??" as if you were the cook.
감사합니다!
Can we use 닭 instead of 치긴 here?
Chicken is used to refer to fried chicken, 닭 just chicken, 닭고기 chicken meat
