Intensifying comparisons (hur ... som helst)

Limitless Comparisons with Hur ... som helst

To say that something is "as [adjective] as you like" or that there is absolutely no limit to a certain quality, Swedish uses the phrase hur ... som helst. Place your adjective between hur (how) and som helst (preferably / whatsoever).

A blockbuster can be as spectacular as you like.
En storfilm kan vara hur spektakulär som helst.

Since you are still using an adjective inside the phrase, it must agree in number and gender with the noun it describes. Notice how farlig (dangerous) takes an -a when describing a plural noun:

The monsters can become as dangerous as you like.
Monstren kan bli hur farliga som helst.

Using Adverbs

This construction works exactly the same way with adverbs to emphasize that there is no limit to how an action is performed.

You can animate the dinosaur as fast as you like.
Du kan animera dinosaurien hur snabbt som helst.
You can render the scene as slowly as you like.
Du kan rendera scenen hur långsamt som helst.

It is also frequently used to say that something turned out "as good as it gets":

We had the explosion rendered, and it turned out as good as it gets.
Vi lät explosionen renderas, och den blev hur bra som helst.
