It's possible to look up [问](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=问) ("to ask") and [何](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=何) ("what / how / why / which / carry") in a dictionary.  Is this the kind of answer you're after?  If there's something else you specifically wish to know, please [edit].
