Cómo (interrogative adverb)
Used to ask about the manner or way something is done. It does not change form for gender or number.
nos (object pronoun)
Here it functions as a direct object pronoun meaning “us” or “each other” in a reciprocal sense.
contactar (regular -ar verb)
In the present tense, the first‑person plural form is “contactamos”. No accent is needed because the stress naturally falls on the penultimate syllable.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries it’s common to ask directly for contact details, but it’s polite to offer several options (email, phone, WhatsApp, etc.). Using “nos” emphasizes a mutual relationship, which is especially appreciated in collaborative or team‑oriented environments.
