جو بھی
Whoever or Whatever
No particular person or thing is singled out.
How It Works
جو بھی can mean “whoever” or “whatever.” The clause and context tell you whether the reference is a person, an object, or an open choice.
A subjunctive often leaves the qualifying event open. An ordinary habitual form can instead describe what happens to everyone who regularly qualifies.
When the relative participant needs a postposition, جو changes form: جسے بھی or جس سے بھی. Adding بھی does not remove that case requirement.

- جو بھی آئے، اسے یہ پیغام دے دیجیے۔

- جو بھی یہاں کام کرتا ہے، اسے یہ اصول معلوم ہیں۔
