Hello, I have another question, and the answer might not be straightforward because Japanese grammar is nothing like English grammar.

How would I use a question word in a sentence that isn't a question? For example:

"What did he tell you?" "What he told me was good."
or, "Why did you go to the mall?" "I don't know why I went to the mall."

In both examples, the second sentence uses a question word to help answer the question, but the question word isn't used to ask the question.

How would I say these sentences in Japanese? Thanks!
