When we want to express "to do something as one pleases," we can use the "想 verb 就 verb" form.

== Basic Pattern == This structure is similar to how we would say in English "Whatever I want to eat, I eat" or "Wherever I want to go, I go." What comes after the 想 and 就 are the same verb. === Structure ===
想 + Verb + 就 + Verb
=== Examples ===
* ''想'' 吃 ''就'' 吃 。''Xiǎng'' chī ''jiù'' chī.If you want to eat, help yourself. * ''想'' 走 ''就'' 走 吧 。''Xiǎng'' zǒu ''jiù'' zǒu ba. Leave if you want to. * ''想'' 买 ''就'' 买 ,不用 问 我 。''Xiǎng'' mǎi ''jiù'' mǎi, bùyòng wèn wǒ.If you want to buy, go ahead. You don't need to ask me. * 别 害怕 ,''想'' 说 ''就'' 说 。Bié hàipà, ''xiǎng'' shuō ''jiù'' shuō.Don't be afraid. If you want to say, say it. * ''想'' 做 ''就'' 做 ,考虑 那么 多 干吗 ?''Xiǎng'' zuò ''jiù'' zuò, kǎolǜ nàme duō gànmá?If you want to do it, do it. Why would you consider so much?
== Advanced Pattern == You can also add in a question word, like 什么, 哪儿, or 怎么. When this is the case, the pronouns don't necessarily refer to anything specific. They can be seen more as words like "whatever" or "wherever." This way, question pronouns (什么,谁,什么时候,etc) serve as "indefinite references." === Structure ===
想 + [Question Word] + 就 + [Question Word]
=== Examples ===
* ''想'' 去 '''哪儿''' ''就'' 去 '''哪儿''' 。''Xiǎng'' qù '''nǎr''' ''jiù'' qù '''nǎr'''.You can go wherever you like to go. * ''想'' 请 '''谁''' ''就'' 请 '''谁''' 。''Xiǎng'' qǐng '''shéi''' ''jiù'' qǐng '''shéi'''.You can invite whoever you like to invite. * ''想'' '''什么''' 时候 来 ''就'' '''什么''' 时候来 。''Xiǎng'' '''shénme shíhou''' lái ''jiù'' '''shénme shíhou''' lái.You can come whenever you like. * ''想'' 点 '''什么''' ''就'' 点 '''什么''' ,我 请客 。''Xiǎng'' diǎn '''shénme''' ''jiù'' diǎn '''shénme''', wǒ qǐngkè.You can order whatever you like. I'm buying. * 这些 钱 我 ''想'' '''怎么''' 花 ''就'' '''怎么''' 花 。Zhèxiē qián wǒ ''xiǎng'' '''zěnme''' huā ''jiù'' '''zěnme''' huā.I will spend the money however I like.
