<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="using-反正-to-mean-no-matter-what">Using 反正 to mean no matter
what</h2>
<h3 id="structure">Structure</h3>
<p>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."</p>
<div class="jiegou">
<p>Disregarded Situation， 反正⋯⋯</p>
</div>
<h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>
<div class="liju">
<ul>
<li>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></li>
<li>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></li>
<li>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></li>
<li>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></li>
<li>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></li>

<h3 id="structure-1">Structure</h3>
<p>反正, in this case, is used to convey a certainty or resolution.
It‘s similar to <a href=
"Expressing_&quot;since&quot;_with_&quot;jiran&quot;" title=
"wikilink">既然</a>. It can be placed either at the beginning or the
end while 既然 can only be placed at the beginning.</p>
<div class="jiegou">
<p>反正＋condition，decision or resolution</p>

<h3 id="examples-1">Examples</h3>
<div class="liju">
<ul>
<li><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></li>
<li><em>反正</em> 我 也 不 需要，就 送 给 你 吧。<span class="trans">I don't need
it anyway. So I'll just give it to you.</span></li>
<li><em>反正</em> 我 家 够 大，你们 今晚 都 住 这儿 吧。<span class="trans">My house
is big enough, you can all stay here tonight.</span></li>
<li><em>反正</em> 大家 都 知道 了，你 还 怕 什么？<span class="trans">Everybody
knows about it now. So what are you still afraid of?</span></li>
<li><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></li>
