What is the difference between 何 and どれ?


何 means what and can be conjugated with か to mean something (何か要る : I need
something) with も to mean everything/nothing (何も知らない : know nothing) and with
でも to mean anything ( 何でもいい : anything is fine). Now what if I conjugate
どれ(means which) in the same way as 何 with か も でも to mean one from a lot of
choices, all/none of the choices, one but any of the choices. Actually I'm
confused with the real definition of those. So what is the exact meaning of
どれか,どれも,どれでも specifically and with examples please. The か there is not asking
"which one?"




The user17907's answer gives great examples, so I briefly show you the
meanings of each phrase:

**どれか** : one/some of the choices (with no preference) ex:

> あなたは本をたくさん持っていますね。どれか貸してください。
>
> You have a number of books. Would you lend me one of them?

**どれも** : each of stuffs. everything.

> この店の果物はどれも新鮮だ。
>
> All the fruits they sell are fresh.

**どれでも** : all of the choices.

> 本を貸して。どれでもいいよ。
>
> Please lend me one of your books. Anything will do.
