To ask someone what they are like in Spanish, you would typically use the question "¿Cómo eres?" This phrase directly translates to "What are you like?"
Here’s a brief explanation of the options you've mentioned:
- ¿Cómo te llamas? - "What is your name?" This asks for someone's name, not their characteristics.
- ¿Cómo es? - "What is he/she/it like?" This is used to ask about someone else's characteristics.
- ¿Cómo soy? - "What am I like?" This is a question directed at oneself about personal characteristics.
- ¿Cómo estás? - "How are you?" This asks about someone's current state or feelings, not their overall characteristics.
So, if you want to ask someone about their characteristics, you should use ¿Cómo eres?
