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

Structure

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. You can also add in a question word, like 什么, 哪儿, or 怎么.

想 + Verb + 就 + Verb

Examples

  • 来。
  • 去哪儿去哪。
  • 做,不想做就不做。
  • 吃什么吃什么,我无所谓。
  • 怎样怎样,不关你的事。
