کوئی ... ہی کیوں نہ
No Matter Which Participant
No matter how much → the main point still applies.
How It Works
A pattern such as کوئی کتنا ہی مصروف کیوں نہ ہو means that even a very busy person is included. The speaker rules out that quality as an exception to the main statement.
The phrase commonly includes a degree word such as کتنا and a subjunctive. The quality can vary, while the main clause remains valid across the possible cases.
Do not read نہ as simply denying the quality. The construction allows even the extreme case rather than saying that nobody has the quality.
Examples (4)
- کوئی کتنا ہی مصروف کیوں نہ ہو، وقت پر جواب دینا ضروری ہے۔
No matter how busy someone is, it is important to reply on time.
Extreme busyness is not presented as an exception.
- کوئی کتنا ہی تجربہ کار کیوں نہ ہو، غلطی ہو سکتی ہے۔
No matter how experienced someone is, a mistake can happen.
Experience does not eliminate the possibility.
- کوئی راستہ کتنا ہی آسان کیوں نہ ہو، نقشہ ساتھ رکھنا اچھا ہے۔
No matter how easy a route is, it is good to keep a map with you.
The concession concerns a route rather than a person.
- کوئی کتاب کتنی ہی مختصر کیوں نہ ہو، اسے غور سے پڑھیے۔
No matter how short a book is, read it carefully.
کتنی follows feminine کتاب inside the concessive clause.
