Japanese question words can behave differently depending on what type of sentence they're used in. Here's a couple examples:
何か - Means "something" in positive statements.
何か - Means "anything" in questions.
何も - Means not ... anything in negative statements.
These words are also used on their own in instances where the particles は, が, or を would've normally been used. Essentially, they stand on their own, without those particles.
