~でも (or something, softener)

grammar

10 sentences

The particle でも attached to a noun to soften a suggestion or invitation — 'X or something (like that).' Makes the suggestion non-committal and easier to refuse, offering one possibility as a vague example. お茶でも飲む? ('want to grab some tea or something?'), コーヒーでも飲もう ('let's have coffee or something'). Distinct from the universalizing でも ('even X, any X') and the concessive でも ('but, however').
