When to use Verb + 什么（就）是什么 for “Whatever It Is, That’s It”
The first 什么 follows a verb (点什么, 有什么, 说什么) and the second follows 是. The meaning is: whatever the first part turns out to be, that is the result, and nobody will change it. It shows easy acceptance (你点什么就是什么，我都可以) or that someone’s word is final (他说什么就是什么). 就 is often there but can be left out in short sentences.

Errores frecuentes
- Use the same question word in both halves: 说哪儿就是哪儿, not 说哪儿就是什么.
- 是 here does not mean “is” in a description; it means “that’s what it will be,” so the result is final.
- Don’t mix it up with 想吃什么就吃什么, which offers a free choice instead of accepting a result.
