Talk:whatever it takes

whatever it takes
The author has categorized it as an idiom, but I'm not sure it requires an entry. Kappa 06:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Pretty common set-phrase; leaning towards 'keep.' --Connel MacKenzie 18:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree. If this weren't a set phrase, you'd expect it to mostly interchangeable with "whatever it may take" and "whatever it might take". —Ruakh TALK 19:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The definition seems to define it as a sentence all of its own.
 * Are you proposing we kidnap the ambassador?
 * Whatever it takes.

"whatever it takes" is a noun phrase. The PoS line says "phrase", should say "noun". The definition is a clause that includes "whatever it takes". Needs work. DCDuring 00:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep as set phrase. I have made it two PoSs: Noun and Interjection (an affirmative). I'll check to make sure that interjection is right. I included DAVilla's made-up quote as an example. DCDuring 00:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
