Hi guys! I am confused by a little problem.
Could you please help me understand the difference b/w the below two sentences？
1> How is she beautiful?
2> How beautiful is she?
I guess it may need to be considered according to the specific context, right?
Really appreciate your help☺

In the 1st sentence you are asking how can she be beautiful, how can someone else say that because you don't think she is.
In the 2nd sentence you think she is so beautiful that you can't believe she is real. It is more rhetorical question.

1 她那里漂亮
2 她那么漂亮

These questions don’t necessarily have the positive/negative implications the other respondents have stated.
“How is she beautiful?” could also just be a neutral question asking “in what way is she beautiful?”
“How beautiful is she?” could just be a neutral question asking for an opinion on the degree of her beauty.

let me make it simple for you, the first one is asking "hmm seriously? how in this world can she be anywhere near being beautiful ?" so it does not convey anything positive. Second one is asking, the 'measure of beautifulness' in her. So .here is no negative impact. Hope this answers your questions.
