The Chinese word 任何 is a pronoun that means “any” or “whatever”. It is often used to express the idea of “anything” or “anyone” in a sentence. For example, “你可以选择任何一种颜色” means “You can choose any color”. The word can also be used in a negative context to mean “nothing” or “none”, such as in the sentence “我没有任何朋友”, which means “I don’t have any friends at all”.
