Meaning of それどうする気


Yamada has just collected a lot of insects and is asked:

> 「それどうする気?」

I'm guessing this is a set phrase along the lines of "What were you
thinking?". I can't get any sense out of a literal translation.

I keep seeing this pairing of どう and する in things I can't translate literally
e.g. どうしたの "what's the matter?". Is there some kind of rule I can apply that
will help me understand these phrases?




それどうする気 means それをどうするつもり and it is translated as "What are you going to do
with it?". And どうする? is translated as "What would you do?".

A verb + 気 means "intention to verb". For example, 彼にそのことを話すきなの?(Are you going
to tell him that thing?).
