Using 反正 (fǎnzhèng) can be a bit addictive as it is seemingly possible to through in everywhere. It means "anyhow", or "regardless", and is used to disregard another statement, particularly those involving options or choices.

Some examples:

  • 听说 学习 方言 会 影响 你 的 普通话...反正 我 无所谓,影响 就 影响 吧!
  • 说 不 说 都 一样,反正 没有 人 会 听 咱们 老百姓 的 意见。
  • 不管 你 信 不 信 这个 结果,反正 我 信 了。
