oaji no ho wa do desu ka (おあじのほはどですか): how does it taste?
I was asked this at U-zen regarding my bento box. The use of "no ho" is confusing to me here.
Very polite, asked by persons preparing the meal

mimi + ate (みみあて): ear warmers
Another good example of a hard word that makes a lot of sense when broken down into kanji
verb stem + mono
Sensei thought us that the objects of a verb can be called by the verb stem + mono. For example, kaimasu (shopping/buy) makes kaimono, tabemasu makes tabemono, etc. At the same time, you can figure out that wearing a kimono is kimasu.
