How do you call this thing?

Can we get a bot that automatically tells posters that the proper phrase is "What do you call...?"

I say “come to me, wheelbarrow!”

This is a wheelbarrow. Other people have already told you you should've said "what do you call this thing?" as that's the most common way someone would ask that. I want to also let you know that you could say "How do you refer to this thing?", and that would be perfectly acceptable and not sound strange at all. Maybe that can help elucidate the difference between "how" and "what".

I usually go “ heyyyy wheel,wheel, wheelbarrow, pspspspspspsp”

To help remember the what/how distinction: What do you call your grandparents? Grandma and Grandad. How do you call your grandparents? On my mobile phone.

Legit thought it was called a "wheel barrel" until I was like 25 years old as a native speaker lol. Blew my mind.

Use a lasso.

I would call it a wheelbarrow if it let me.

A wheelbarrow. And it's "What do you call," not "How do you call."

WHAT do you call this thing? A wheelbarrow.

It always makes me think of "Viz".

A lot of languages use "how do you call," but in English "what" is used. Basically, the phrase is viewed as more of "what is the term used" than "in what way do you refer to the thing." You can say "how do you refer to this thing" though.

Just pspspsp it

Isn't it mean to make fun of OP just cause they used the wrong question word? I mean, it is wrong and it's important to let learners know I guess, but making jokes and pretending not to have understood it is a bit inappropriate for a community focused on learning, isn't it?

Wheelbarrow. But it’s pronounced super weird. Wheel “bare oh”

Wheelbarrow

It's an inanimate object. You can call it what you want, but it won't come over no matter 'how' you call it. English name is wheelbarrow Dutch name is kruiwagen

It is a wheelbarrow. You will hear many people, native speakers, erroneously call it a "wheelbarrel." This is a nonsense word that means nothing, so make sure you mock any native speaker who says it

That there's an RV. Yep, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took the RV. Heh, heh, it's a good lookin' vehicle, ain't it?

a wheelbarrow!

I think it’s important to note that in some languages, like Spanish, the grammatically correct way to say “What do you call this?” is more along the lines of “How is this called?” or “How do you call this?” (“¿Cómo se llama esto?”)

Wheelbarrow. Also the grammatically correct way to ask this is “What do you call this thing” Or “how do you pronounce this word”

There should be a bot that automatically removes posts containing the incorrect 'how' and tells you why it did it

Just curious. From which website did you get this image? This exact image exists on [https://www.kctdirect.co.uk/products/kct-65-litre-garden-steel-wheelbarrow](https://www.kctdirect.co.uk/products/kct-65-litre-garden-steel-wheelbarrow) which exactly states what it's called. I suppose other sites in different languages could have had the same image as well but I thought it was curious. By the way I found it easily with Google Lens. If you are on a PC and use Google Chrome you can right click any image and choose "Search with Google Lens". And there are also other ways to reverse image search which can give you the answer that way. But of course the easiest thing is to just put the native word in google translate or similar. I just don't understand the logic of making a post about this if you can find the answer easier and faster in other ways.

You can call it anyway you like, it still won't come

Using my moto-roller 😁

el arabası. lit: hand car

wheel barrow (but I've noticed a lot of people say wheel barrel when they say it out loud)

To call it just say “come here”

Wheel barrow.

How do you call this thing? You make sounds with your voice and mouth, shaping the sounds into words. What do you call this? A wheelbarrow. This is the difference in English, as I understand if it's translated from another language, many use "how" in this way.

little car hands

I don't. It's not alive and thus incapable of responding to me.

Because I played Age of Empires 2, I know this since 12 yo: Wheelbarrow

Handcar

Turtle 🤡

it's a wheelbarrow, but honestly you might hear wheel barrel too. I assume that developed from a mishearing.

Hand car

Just remember the classic lyrics: I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round. **Repeat almost forever;** I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it went round, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel it fell off.
