What's that mean?

雲吞

我经常听别人这么说，不光是中国人，洋人也这么说
3 R/ j# {# f1 ?4 S2 X- M6 E: ^( ^$ K
# L) F& Z& G5 |( w  n; H$ ?那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
" c2 u/ O5 K, E$ X* ^8 M  L4 U
- f+ A& G5 s$ L& {0 i: d2 r但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
2 l; ?0 F8 m! Z- H1 N; p"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
. O/ b+ A- b! R- CWhat's it like?
4 b6 \: Y' [; x0 _& MWhat's he eat?
What's she look like?

为什么是does?我怎么觉得那个该是is阿，mean可以理解成名词！如果理解成动词，does就不该缩写成那样！

跟同事讨论了一下，也许是what is it means to be? 把后面的to be省掉了？不过也有老外同事说就是what does的缩写。

学习了
# e; S0 f9 |( O7 ]/ ^& l"What's" for "what does" is moderately common in spoken informal BrE, but not all speakers would use it. You would be more likely to hear it in a non-standard variety of British English, for instance.

what does that mean?

: q: u+ U) X/ v- S4 ]那可不是随便理解的事。mean做名词的时候只有中值的意思，意思的名词应该是meaning。
所以还应该是 What does that mean?
