Than you Henna for your answer.
According to Henna's answer. can I take these two word to understand like this?
He somehow fixed the problem..... it means I dont know how did he fix it and in what way fixed it, but he did fix it.
He somewhat fixed the problem......it means he to some extent fixed the problem, but he didn't completely fix the problem, just fixed some part of the problem.
is my understanding correct?
