Why do some Arabic speakers say "any" instead of "what" in English?

Hi everyone! I have spoken to a good amount of people who speak Arabic as their first language, and noticed that using the word "any" instead "what/which" is quite common for these folks. For example:
- I am going to drink juice
- Any juice?
What is the reason behind this?
