Comment on can you say “what it means?” as proper english?

The correct sentence is “what does it mean?”
As far as I know, Russian doesn’t use the auxillary verb “do/does”.
In many languages, the “do” is often a included in the case itself, meaning that it will be part of the word “mean”, as also suggested by the usage of “means” instead of “does mean”.
I suppose another construction could be “It means what?”

yeah! in Russia, it’s said as «что это значит?» or directly “what it means?”
