Whatever and what
Hi. Is noun following the word "Whatever" is countable or uncountable? I think it is uncountable since only it is countable when it refers to a country (could be mistaken). If I am right, is it common to have an uncountable noun after words like "what" or "whatever"?
eg,
Whatever land John Doe...
I think this is correct?
What furniture do you have?
I think this is also used.
What kind of furniture do you have?

Either sort of noun may follow both 'what' and 'whatever': For whatever reason(s), John is not coming today. What furniture/books do you have? What kind of furniture/books do you have?
