The Mandarin Chinese word for "what" is shénme. It is most commonly used as a question word, but can also be used in certain expressions like méi shénme (it doesn't matter).
Shénme occurs after the verb it references, or when used with a noun, can appear at the beginning of the phrase.
Example:
Nǐ yào chī shénme?
What do you want to eat?
Traditional Characters:
你要吃甚麼?
Simplified Characters:
你要吃什么?
