Explanation and Etymology - (何とか) nantoka
The Japanese word "何とか" is composed of two kanjis: "何" which means "what" or "something" and "か" which is a suffix that indicates uncertainty or doubt. Together they form an expression that can be translated as "somehow", "anyway" or "something". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185) and is derived from the expression "何とかして" (nanto kashite), which means "do something". Over time, the expression was shortened to "何とか" and was used as an independent word. Today, "何とか" is a common word in Japanese vocabulary and is often used in situations where uncertainty or lack of clarity is desired.How to Write in Japanese - (何とか) nantoka
