<p>Using <span class="hanzi">反正</span> (<span class="pinyin">fǎnzhèng</span>) can be a bit addictive as it is seemingly possible to throw in everywhere. It means "anyhow," or "regardless"， and is used to disregard a previous statement, particularly those involving options or choices.</p>
<h2 id="using-反正-to-mean-no-matter-what">Using <span class="hanzist">反正</span> to mean no matter what</h2>
<h3 id="structure">Structure</h3>
<p>Just put <span class="hanzi">反正</span> in the sentence after a comma or pause, similar to how we use "<b>anyways</b>" in English. It can be used with "<span class="hanzi">不管</span>."</p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(139, 0, 0); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 22px;">反正</span>, in this case, is used to convey a certainty or resolution. It‘s similar to <a href="Expressing_"since"_with_"jiran"" title="wikilink">既然</a>. It can be placed either at the beginning or the end while <span class="hanzi">既然</span> can only be placed at the beginning.</p>
