### Any Kind vs. Whichever You Choose

When translating the English word "any" into Russian, you need to decide whether you mean "all sorts of" or "any single one."

Use **всякий** to express "every kind" or "all sorts of." It highlights variety and diversity. Like any adjective, it declines to match the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

{{item:959221}}

{{item:959226}}

Use **любой** when you mean "any" in the sense of an open, free choice—whichever single one you pick, it doesn't matter. 

{{item:959228}}

{{item:959236}}

Notice the contrast between these two concepts in action. A universal color might match "all sorts of" things (emphasizing diversity), whereas you need shoes to match "any" single dress you happen to choose (emphasizing interchangeability).

### Achieving Saturation

Sometimes, simply doing an action isn't enough; you need to do it until you are completely satisfied, relieved, or have had your absolute fill. 

In Russian, you can express this "achievement of a state through saturation" by wrapping a verb in a circumfix: adding a prefix like **вы-** (or sometimes **на-**) and the postfix **-ся**.

For example, sleeping isn't always enough; sometimes you need to get a full, satisfying amount of sleep (**выспаться**). If you are carrying emotional tension, you might need to talk until you completely unburden yourself (**выговориться**).

{{item:959237}}

{{item:959238}}

When this type of saturation action takes an object—meaning you have consumed or experienced your absolute fill *of something*—that object must be in the Genitive case. For instance, **насмотреться** means to watch or look at something to the point of complete satiation.
