To answer {do djica lonu citka ma} with "anything," I'd just say {roda},=20
which here means "for each x, I('d) want to eat x," not that "I want to eat=
=20
the-mass-of everything" as in English (maybe I misunderstand {roda}?).

But answering with a noun (any/where/thing) is sorta an Englishism. In=20
Chinese you'd probably use an adverb (=E9=9A=8F=E4=BE=BF/suibian). You coul=
d answer {do=20
djica lonu citka ma} with an attitudinal. Maybe {se'inai} "other-oriented."=
=20
Or maybe {ri .aucu'i} or {.aucu'i go'i lonu citka makau} "indifference." Or=
=20
even {roda .a'u} "interest."
