how did you get here?

Six of these eight lines are 어떻게 오다, and the useful thing to know is that it usually is not asking about transport. 안녕하세요. 어떻게 오셨어요?, said to someone walking into a shop or an office, means 'what brings you in?' — it asks your business. Only when a destination is spelled out, as in 학교까지 어떻게 왔어요?, does it ask by what means you travelled. The same frame can take a real manner word instead: 우리가 기가 막히게 온다.

Register: the 오셨어요 form is polite service-counter Korean
