When to use Question Words Without Questions: 谁都, 什么都
A question word does not always ask a question. Put 都 or 也 right after it and it means “any, every”: 谁都 “anyone, everyone”, 什么都 “anything, everything”, 哪儿都 “anywhere”. The question word and 都 both go before the verb, even when the question word is the object: 我什么都吃, not 我吃什么都. With 不 or 没 after 都/也, it means “nobody, nothing, nowhere”: 谁也没来 “nobody came”.
这件事谁都知道。
Everyone knows about this.
放假的时候，我哪儿都不想去。

我怎么也找不到我的手机。
I can’t find my phone no matter what I do.
你想吃什么就吃什么。
Eat whatever you like.
Häufige Stolperfallen

- Put 不 or 没 after 都/也: 我什么也不想吃 “I don’t want to eat anything”, not 我不什么都想吃.
- 你想吃点儿什么吗？ asks “Do you want something to eat?”; drop the 吗 only if you mean “What do you want to eat?”
