Yes, Angelika, that's how we say it like this for an example: How do you call a person that's older than you? where in fact what I want is the word "senior".

And I'm confused still with this 2 questions and can't tell which one is correct:

How does he look like?
What does he look like?

I don't know about others, but my native tongue influence is hard to shake off unless I make constant mental effort to pay attention, but that's a lot of work. I don't know if I can keep up.

Thank you very much for you answers in regard to the days of a month thing.

Correction rules!
