Questions & Answers about Мы как-нибудь решим эту проблему.
Why do we use как-нибудь here instead of как-то?
The suffix -нибудь is used for things that are indefinite, hypothetical, or haven't happened yet. Because we are talking about the future (решим - "will solve"), we use как-нибудь to mean "somehow, we don't know exactly how yet." You would usually use как-то to talk about "somehow" in the past, for something that already happened.
I thought the future tense used the word будем. Why is it just решим?
решить (to solve) is a perfective verb, meaning it focuses on a completed result. Perfective verbs never use the helper verb будем. When you conjugate a perfective verb, its normal endings automatically create the future tense! So, мы решим means "we will solve (and finish solving) it."
Why does the ending of эта проблема change to эту проблему here?
It changes to the accusative case because "this problem" is the direct object of the sentence—it is the thing receiving the action of the verb (what are we solving?). For feminine words ending in -а, the ending changes to -у, and the matching pronoun эта changes to эту.
Does как-нибудь only mean "somehow"?
