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

This structure is similar to how we would say in English &quot;Whatever I want to eat, I eat&quot; or &quot;Wherever I want to go, I go.&quot; What comes after the 想 and 就 are the same verb.

=== <span id="Structure" class="mw-headline">Structure</span> ===

<div class="jiegou">

想 + Verb + 就 + Verb


</div>
=== <span id="Examples" class="mw-headline">Examples</span> ===

<div class="liju">

* ''想'' 吃 ''就'' 吃 。<span class="pinyin">''Xiǎng'' chī ''jiù'' chī.</span><span class="trans">If you want to eat, help yourself.</span>
* ''想'' 走 ''就'' 走 吧 。<span class="pinyin">''Xiǎng'' zǒu ''jiù'' zǒu ba. </span><span class="trans">Leave if you want to.</span>
* ''想'' 买 ''就'' 买 ，不用 问 我 。<span class="pinyin">''Xiǎng'' mǎi ''jiù'' mǎi, bùyòng wèn wǒ.</span><span class="trans">If you want to buy, go ahead. You don't need to ask me.</span>
* 别 害怕 ，''想'' 说 ''就'' 说 。<span class="pinyin">Bié hàipà, ''xiǎng'' shuō ''jiù'' shuō.</span><span class="trans">Don't be afraid. If you want to say, say it.</span>
* ''想'' 做 ''就'' 做 ，考虑 那么 多 干吗 ？<span class="pinyin">''Xiǎng'' zuò ''jiù'' zuò, kǎolǜ nàme duō gànmá?</span><span class="trans">If you want to do it, do it. Why would you consider so much?</span>


</div>

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 &quot;whatever&quot; or &quot;wherever.&quot; This way, question pronouns (什么,谁,什么时候,etc) serve as &quot;indefinite references.&quot;

=== <span id="Structure_2" class="mw-headline">Structure</span> ===

想 + [Question Word] + 就 + [Question Word]

* ''想'' 请 '''谁''' ''就'' 请 '''谁''' 。<span class="pinyin">''Xiǎng'' qǐng '''shéi''' ''jiù'' qǐng '''shéi'''.</span><span class="trans">You can invite whoever you like to invite.</span>
