In the phrase "¿Cómo se dice?" which translates to "How do you say?" in English, the word "do" in English doesn't have a direct counterpart in Spanish. Instead, Spanish constructs questions differently. Here’s how it breaks down:

• "¿Cómo" means "how" and "se dice" means "is said" or it could mean, "one says."

In Spanish, questions often don't require the auxiliary verb "do" like in English. The verb form "dice" (from "decir," meaning "to say") combined with "se" (a reflexive pronoun here indicating a general statement or question) creates the meaning.

So, "¿Cómo se dice?" directly translates to "How is it said?" or more naturally in English, "How do you say?"
