- Using 反正 (fǎnzhèng) 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.
- == Using 反正 to mean no matter what ==
- === Structure ===
- Just put 反正 in the sentence after a comma or pause, similar to how we use "anyways" in English. It can be used with "不管."
- <div class="jiegou">
-
- Disregarded Situation， 反正⋯⋯
- </div>
- === Examples ===
- <div class="liju">
- *不管 他 去 不 去，<em>反正</em> 我 要 去。<span class="trans">No matter he's going or not, I'm going anyway.</span>
- *不管 你 信 不 信，<em>反正</em> 我 信 了。<span class="trans">No matter you believe this or not, I believe it anyway.</span>
- *你 想 去 哪儿 就 去 哪儿 吧， <em>反正</em> 我 无所谓。<span class="trans">Go wherever you want. I don't really care anyway.</span>
- *说 不 说 都 一样，<em>反正</em> 没有 人 会 听 我 的 意见。<span class="trans">Speaking or not is all the same. Nobody is going to listen to what my opinion anyway.</span>
- *他们 怎么 想 都 不 重要，<em>反正</em> 我 已经 决定 了。<span class="trans">What they think doesn't matter. I made my decision anyway.</span>
- </div>
- == Using 反正 to giving an emphasis on the fact ==
- === Structure ===
- 反正, in this case, is used to convey a certainty or resolution. It‘s similar to [[Expressing "since" with "jiran"|既然]]. It can be placed either at the beginning or the end while 既然 can only be placed at the beginning.
- <div class="jiegou">
-
- 反正＋condition，decision or resolution
- </div>
- === Examples ===
- <div class="liju">
- *<em>反正</em> 他们 不 来 了，咱们 自己 去 吧。<span class="trans">They are not coming anyway, so let's just go by ourselves.</span>

- *<em>反正</em> 我 已经 送 了 礼物，要 不 要 是 她 的 事。<span class="trans">I've already given her the present. It's her business to take it or not.</span>
