It's wrong with 'what'.
It's OK with 'whom' but better with nothing:
'Every teenager I know is lazy.'

Could you tell me if the sentence can be with this word order?
"I think lazy is every teenager what I know."
I would correct it to:
I think every teenager whom I know is lazy. But I am not sure about the "what" too.
Thank you for the help!

"I think lazy is every teenager what I know." Even without "what", this is not acceptable.
Maybe Yoda could get away with it. He'd probably say "Lazy every teenager I know is," though.

I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
