How to spell the word "somehow"?

The Russian language is rich in rules and exceptions to them, so often there is a problem with the correct spelling of certain words. One of the most common mistakes is misspelling words with particles. Among them is the word “somehow”, which can be found in a letter with a clear mistake - written together or with a space.

Literate spelling

In the modern world, the “fashion” of speaking and writing correctly is becoming more widespread, but not all follow it. Often in our speech adverbs with an indefinite time are used, for example, "somehow." And if in a conversation it is difficult to use them incorrectly, then when writing, problems with grammar can occur. In order to correctly write words containing a “something” particle, you should familiarize yourself with a number of Russian language rules. According to them, the correct spelling of the word "somehow" - only using a hyphen, and nothing else.

Basic Rules

Understanding the question of how to spell “someday” (and also “somewhere” and other words with this particle), it’s enough to familiarize yourself with just one rule for its competent use in writing.

how is it ever written

According to the spelling guide, all words using the particles "-to," "either," or "anywhere" are written only with a hyphen. Thus, forming words with an unknown time, for example, “somehow”, a hyphen should be put between the part of the word and its particle.

Is spelling possible?

Most of the rules of the Russian language have a number of exceptions, including due to the transition to the lexicon of foreign words. In this regard, doubts may arise: are there any special words in which the particle is written together with the word or separately from it? There are no exceptions to the rule about writing words with “something” regarding the continuous use of a particle with the word itself. A separate spelling, separated by a space, is possible only if the word “something” exists and in the sentence with “how” it is a subject of comparison. But, according to the Russian explanatory dictionary, at the moment there is no such isolated word in the language.

somehow

Nevertheless, the Russian language continues to evolve and include all new words that correspond to the present. So, in a modern lexicon you can often find terms little known to the older generation - like, spoiler, newsmaker and others. It is possible that over time the word “something” will appear in the Russian language, which will have its own meaning, different from a similar particle.
