'Anything,' 'Anywhere,' and 'Anyone' in Japanese

<div class='writeup-body'>でも is one of many adverbial particles in Japanese. These are particles that behave like a regular 助詞（じょし） (in that they appear after the words that they are referencing), but their role is a little bit more specific. でも itself has several uses, and the use that we will examine in this grammar point is called 例示（れいじ）. Basically this means 'presenting examples'. In English, this results in a translation similar to 'even', or 'or something'. To use this structure, simply attach でも to the end of any noun, or pronoun.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>お茶（ちゃ）でも飲（の）みましょうか。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Shall we drink some tea, or something?</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>大丈夫（だいじょうぶ）だよ、お前（まえ）でも出来（でき）るよ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>It's okay, even someone like you can do it.</div></li></ul>When grouped with a standard noun as above, でも is just showing that the noun is an example/suggestion, and that there are other choices/possibilities available. However, when the noun is a word like 誰（だれ）, どこ, 何（なん）, or いつ, the translation becomes much closer to English words like 'anyone', 'anywhere', 'anything', or 'anytime'.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>この簡単（かんたん）な漢字（かんじ）は誰（だれ）でも分（わ）かるよ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Everyone knows this easy kanji.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>「明日（あした）はどこに行（い）きたい？」「どこでもいいよ。」</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>'Where do you want to go tomorrow?'

As で and も together could be translated as 'even with (A)', it would also be correct to consider it this way.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>スプーンでも缶詰（かんづめ）が開（あ）く。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>A can will open, even with a spoon.</div></li> </ul></div><div class='writeup-caution'><div class='caution-header'>Caution</div>When grouped with 何（なに）, the pronunciation will almost always change to なん. This is purely to make なんでも easier to say.</div></div>
