Hello, teachers!!
Mike is a very smart student. He somehow seems to know how to get around problems.
May I say "He somewhat seems to know how to get around problems" instead of somehow?
Thank you in advance. |

Somehow = in some way. Somewhat = to some extent. So no, you wouldn't want to substitute somewhat into your sentence, where somehow works fine.
