How heavy it is?

Hi teachers.


A few days ago I gound 'How heavy it is?" in my grammar book, which made me wonder if it is grammatical.

What I know is that we should say 'How heavy are you?' when we ask one's weight.


Which expression is grammatical and common? Also is there any differences between asking about human's and object's (like an animal's weight or meat's weight)


Thanks in advance. ??

No, we ask "How heavy is it?"

These are all used:

How heavy are you / is it?
How much do you / does it weigh?

Asking "what does it weigh/what do you weigh" is more neutral than ""how heavy . . . " Especially when asking about a person's weight, "heavy" is not very complimentary.
