📐 GRAMMAR ANALYSIS

📌 Passive Causative Form (される - sareru)

In the phrase どうされました (dō sare mashita), this is a humble/polite form of the passive causative. され comes from the verb する (suru, 'to do'). When combined with ました, it forms a very polite way to ask about an event that happened to someone else or something that occurred to them. It essentially means 'How were you affected?' or 'What happened to you?'. This is commonly used by doctors or officials to inquire politely about incidents.

Example: “手の傷はどうされましたか? (Your hand's wound [topic] what happened to it?)”

📌 Time Expression Structure (～前に)

The structure 2週間前に (ni shūkan mae ni) is used to indicate a specific point in time relative to now. 前 (mae) means 'before', and when attached to a duration like '2 weeks' and followed by the particle に (ni), it pinpoints exactly when an event occurred. に marks the specific time when the action took place.

Example: “アッ2週間前に… (Oh! 2 weeks ago [time marker]…)”
