I don't know what the following expressions mean exactly:

> 女の人はご主人にどうしてほしいですか。

> どうかしたんですか。

This に in sentence 1 irritates me. Shall it mean "the woman, what/how does she
wish from the clerk to do?"

In sentence 2 I just dont recognize the phrase and Im somehow able to get
through it bit by bit ^^




As pointed out in the comments, I misread どうかしたんですか as どうしたんですか. Much of what
I said about the later still applies, but it's not really inscrutable.
Essentially, means "What, did something happen?"

Meanwhile, どうしたんですか is one of those expressions that seem inscrutable. For me
it reminds me of how in English we sometimes say things like, "What's up?" I
used to hate being asked that question because it felt like I'd have to say
something like "The sky is up"; it just felt odd to reply "I'm doing well"
because it didn't really seem to be answering the literal meaning of the
sentence.

Here どうしたんですか is just expressing concern and essentially means "What's the
matter?" or "What's going on/happening?"
