Questions & Answers about Jag kan laga vad som helst vegetariskt.
Why does vegetariskt end with a -t in this sentence?
It is describing the phrase vad som helst (anything). In Swedish, indefinite pronouns like vad som helst, något (something), and allt (everything) are treated as neuter words. Because of this, any adjective attached to them must take the neuter -t ending.
Can I use other question words with som helst the same way we use vad here?
Yes! Adding som helst to a question word turns it into an any- word. Just like vad som helst means anything, you can say vem som helst for anyone, när som helst for anytime, or var som helst for anywhere.
Is it possible to write vad som helst som är vegetariskt instead?
Yes, adding som är (that is) makes a grammatically perfect sentence. However, putting the neuter adjective directly after the pronoun, as in vad som helst vegetariskt, is very natural and concise. This matches how we say anything vegetarian in English without needing extra words.
Does the verb laga always mean to cook?
