"What does ___ mean?" (Answers below are from most formal to least) 1.__というのはどういう意味ですか。 2.__っていうのはどういう意味ですか。 3.__って何? Another useful phrase: "How do you say ___ in English?" (If you want a translation rather than an explanation) 英語で__は何に当たりますか。 (The literal translation is "what does ___ correspond to in English". The literal Japanese phrase for 'how do you say___ in English' in Japanese is very unnatural)
