    Default adverb...

    Hello,

    I am a little confused about this sentence.

    I can't know how you are a man

    or

    I can't know how a man you are.

    Could you help me which is correct?
    Thank you...

    Neither are correct or understandable. Perhaps you mean, "I don't know what type of man you are."
