<p>无论 (wúlùn) means "no matter," and is generally used in the first part of the sentence. As with many other constructions, 都 and 也 can be used in the second part of the sentence to emphasize the action or decision will not change. It is more formal than <a href=""No_Matter"_with_"buguan"" title="wikilink">不管</a>.</p>
<h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
<div class="jiegou"><div class="deux"><span style="color: rgb(255, 127, 80); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 30px;">无论</span> + Circumstances + <span class="hanzist">都</span> / <span class="hanzist">也</span> + Inevitable Result</div>
</div>
<p>Note that <span class="hanzi">不论</span> (<span class="pinyin">bùlùn</span>) is equivalent to <span class="hanzi">无论</span> for this pattern.</p>
<p>Because <span class="hanzi">无论</span> means "<b>no matter</b>," the clause that follows <span class="hanzi">无论</span> is going to include phrases such as "<b>how hard you try</b>" or "<b>wherever you go</b>," and thus will normally include interrogative pronouns such as <span class="hanzi">怎么</span>, <span class="hanzi">多(么)</span>, <span class="hanzi">什么</span>, <span class="hanzi">谁</span>, etc.</p>
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
<div class="exemple">
<ul>
<li><span class="hanzi">无论 怎么样，他 都 会 放弃，别 高估 他。</span> <span class="trans">No matter what it's like, he will give up. Don't overestimate him.</span></li>
<li><span class="hanzi">无论 多么 成功，他 总 觉得 自己 不够 好。</span> <span class="trans">No matter how successful he is, he always thinks he isn't enough.</span></li>
<li><span class="hanzi">无论 你 到 哪儿 我 都 会 跟着 你。</span> <span class="trans">Wherever you go, I will follow you.</span></li>
<li><span class="hanzi">无论 你 说 还是 不 说，结果 都 一样。</span> <span class="trans">Whatever you say, the result will be the same.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>As we can see from the example sentences, <span class="hanzi">无论</span> is often used with <span class="hanzi">是</span> <b>X</b> <span class="hanzi">还是</span> <b>Y</b>, "<b>Verb</b> <span class="hanzi">不</span> <b>Verb</b>" and interrogative pronouns like <span class="hanzi">多少</span> and <span class="hanzi">什么</span>.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(139, 0, 0); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 22px;">无论如何</span> is a useful set phrase, meaning "<b>no matter what</b>."</p>
