～か何か: "Or something"

Introduction

So... not gonna lie, today's grammar point is a bit strange.

It seems easy, like it should be an N3 point at most, and you may even question if it's a grammar point at all.

But I say, take this "easy" lesson as a win. It's not every day you get to sit back and smash out a grammar lesson with such confidence, especially not in the Sands of Mastery! So get ready to bask in the glorious glow of your own Japanese skills (just try not to let it go to your head), and let's get to it!
