Emphasis
We can use wh-words with -ever to ask very emphatic
questions. When we speak, we stress EVER:
‘However will you manage to live on such a small salary? ‘
‘Monica, whatever are you doing?’ (stronger than What are you doing?)
Whenever are you going to tidy you room?
Vague Language

- Whenever. I'll be at home all day.
Shall I send you the notes I have?

Whatsoever
Whatsoever is an emphatic form of whatever. It is most
common after a negative phrase:
‘He seems to have no idea whatsoever.’
‘I can see no reason whatsoever why we need a new TV.’
