### Qualsiasi and Qualunque

When you want to say "any" or "whatever" (meaning "it doesn't matter which one"), use the indefinite adjectives **qualsiasi** or **qualunque**.

Both words are invariable—they never change to match the noun—and are used with singular nouns.

{{item:815494}}

### Which one to use?

**Qualsiasi** and **qualunque** are entirely interchangeable. Whether the noun is masculine or feminine, the adjective remains exactly the same.

{{item:815499}}

{{item:815507}}

### With Other Adjectives

If you describe the noun further with a standard adjective, **qualsiasi** or **qualunque** goes directly before the noun, while the descriptive adjective follows it.
