Whatever you do here, please try to avoid spouting obscenities, because whatsoever you do in life will come back to haunt you.
Is this an acceptable explanation?
Added note: Whatsoever is a more formal or intensive form of whatever.

Generally, it depends on the text (and, by the way, "sommet, fucked if i know" is really bad text). "Whatever" would be used in: take whatever you want. "Whatsoever" is a more formal usage: whatsoever you wish to take.

What's the correct grammar?
Whatever, what ever, what so ever could all be used, it all depends on the rhythm that you wish the text to be read or the context of the character / narrator sating the words.

From the dictionary on my computer:
Whatever: no matter what, regardless of what
Whatsoever: at all (used as emphasis)
Whatsoever once meant the same thing as whatever, but it's fallen out of use.

Whatever is a pronoun meaning "everything or anything that" as in "whatever makes you happy".
Whatsoever can be a pronoun but also an adjective and it sounds like that's what's confusing you. In this sense it's an adjective that means "at all" as in "I have no energy whatsoever."

What ever you want to include in a sentence makes no difference what so ever, provided you say it nicely.

'Whatever' has many uses and synonyms.
Shown in the MS Word dictionary are :-
What - What on earth - Anything - No matter what - Whatsoever - At all - Suchlike - Doesn't matter what.
Colloquially it is often used in arguments dismissively in place of 'Please yourself' or 'Suit yourself.
So you can take your pick, whatever.
