New HSK 3 Lesson 2 Grammar 3 Non-Interrogative Use of Interrogative Pronouns (3)

Two identical question words can be used together to express a general meaning. They refer to the same person, thing, place, time or way. 就 [jiù] links the two parts of the sentence.

Nǐ xǐhuan shénme, jiù mǎi shénme.

You like what, then buy what. (Buy whatever you want.) 

你想去哪儿，我就去哪儿。
