Introduction:
反正 (fǎnzhèng)
is a very useful adverb that helps you sound more natural in
conversation. It means "anyway," "anyhow," or "no matter what." It's
used to emphasize that a conclusion or decision is true regardless of
the situation. It often implies that other details are unimportant.
How to Use It:
You can place 反正 at the beginning of a sentence, or before the verb.
Common Situations:
To state a fact that is true in all cases:
反正我不喜欢他。 (Fǎnzhèng wǒ bù xǐhuan tā.) - Anyway / No matter what, I don't like him.
不管你来不来,反正我要去。 (Bùguǎn nǐ lái bu lái, fǎnzhèng wǒ yào qù.) - Whether you come or not, I'm going anyway.
To reinforce your point, often after giving a reason:
你别等他了,反正他经常迟到。 (Nǐ bié děng tā le, fǎnzhèng tā jīngcháng chídào.) - Don't wait for him, he's always late anyway.
To simplify a complex situation:
A: 我们坐地铁还是坐公交车? (Wǒmen zuò dìtiě háishì zuò gōngjiāo chē?) - Should we take the subway or the bus?
B: 随便,反正都能到。 (Suíbiàn, fǎnzhèng dōu néng dào.) - Up to you, either way can get us there.
Practice:
Try to use 反正 in a sentence.
Situation:
Your friend is worried about the weather for a picnic. You want to say:
"Let's just go, no matter if it rains or not."
