N でも V (N demo V) — ~ or something (for example)

Making a soft suggestion.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

N [~~を／が~~] + でも + V

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

When to use it

When inviting someone, "shall we drink tea or something?" sounds softer than "shall we drink tea?" — that softness is what でも gives.
It usually comes with 〜ませんか, 〜ましょう, 〜たいです.

Meaning

Noun + でも: おちゃでも飲みませんか (How about tea or something?).
It hints "not only this, something else is fine too", leaving the other person room to choose.

Watch out

でも takes the seat of を／が (おちゃをでも ❌).
