Questions & Answers about Для всякой проблемы годится любой подходящий нестандартный вариант.
Why does this sentence use всякой for the problem but любой for the option?
This highlights the core difference between these two words for 'any'. Всякой emphasizes variety and totality—it means 'every sort of' or 'all kinds of' problems. Любой emphasizes absolute freedom of choice—meaning 'whichever one you pick' or 'absolutely any'. So, out of all the different kinds of problems (всякой), you can pick whichever suitable option you want (любой).
What case is всякой проблемы in and why?
It is in the genitive case. The preposition для (for) always requires the genitive. Since проблема is a feminine noun, its genitive ending is -ы, and the matching feminine genitive ending for the pronoun всякая is -ой.
Why use the verb годится instead of подходит (suits/fits) here?
They are very close synonyms, but using подходит here would sound awkwardly repetitive right next to the word подходящий (suitable). Additionally, годиться carries a highly practical, results-oriented nuance—it means something 'will do', 'serves the purpose', or 'is valid' for the task.
Where does the word подходящий come from? Is it a standard adjective?
It functions exactly like a standard adjective here, but it is actually an active present participle derived from the verb подходить (to suit/fit). It literally translates to the 'suiting' or 'fitting' option. At the B2 level, you will see many of these participles fully integrated into everyday Russian as normal adjectives.
