What does como mas mean in spanish?

Answer 1

well, here is one of those examples where the accent (´) and punctuation makes all the difference. also, it could mean different things depending on the context specially because both words have different meanings. but people normally in an informal conversation like a chat, don't use correct orthography, so you'll have to find which one of this meanings fits more to the conversation.

"como mas" without accents means "i eat but..."

expl: "como mas solo en las noches" = "I eat butonly at night"

"como más" with an accent on the "mas" means: "I eat more"

expl: "yo como más que mi hermano" = "I eat morethan my brother"

"cómo? más!" with accents, depending on the tone of voice can be a surprise: How can it be? there is more!

expl: A: encontré más dinero en mi bolsillo B: cómo? más?

A: i found more money in my pocket B: How can it be? there is more!

but in a reclamation or inquisitive tone means: What do you mean by more?

expl: A: esto no es suficiente tienes que pagar más B: cómo más?

A: this is not enough you have to pay more B: What do you mean by more?

"¿cómo más?" can also be an expression, that means "how else..."

expl: A: no lo estás haciendo correctamente B: ¿cómo más?

A:"you are not doing it correctly" B: "how else should i do it"

A: porqué lo trataste así B: ¿cómo más querías que lo tratara?

A: why did you treat him like that B: "how else did you wanted me to treat him"

i hope my answer clarify your question :P
