التعريف

A formal word used instead of 'whoever' to refer to any person, but only when that person is the object of a verb or preposition.

الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة

Very formal, rarely used in casual speech—'whoever' is more common. Use 'whomever' only as the object, e.g., 'Give it to whomever you want,' never as subject ('Whoever wants it...'). Often replaced by 'whoever' even in writing, and modern English frequently ignores the rule.
