We are getting close to the (awesome) upgrade! Phreadom has given me the green light to put up the yellow light. Everything but the Gallery will be backed-up from now. Please save your new gallery images for after the move.--Thanks!

How about ...? どう

To ask the state of something (how something is doing) use the useful dou (desu ka).

You can used it with or without the final 'desu ka' in conversation.

最近はどうですか? saikin wa dou desu ka? How's it going recently?

コーヒーはどう ko-hi- wa dou? How's the coffee? or it could mean How about some coffee?

天気・#92;報はどう tenki yohou wa dou? How's the weather forecast looking?

Of course when the context is understood you can simply say, 'dou' (Like returning from a doctor's appointment, or after your friend gets off an important phone call)

んーー

So dou 『どう』 can be used with or without ka 『か』, can't it?

You can use any question

You can use any question word without か. Its automatically implied that you're asking a question, so its not necessary. =]
