毕竟 can be used to emphasize a reason or characteristic, and is like "after all" where you might say, "he is after all, only a child".
For example:
- 狼 毕竟 是 野生 动物，跟 它们 打交道 一定 要 保持 警惕。
- 辞职 对 我 来说 是 个 很 难 做 出 的 决定，毕竟 我 在 这个 公司 工作 很长 时间 了。
- 没关系，他 想 请 就 让 他 请，毕竟 他 不 缺钱！
毕竟 is often used in the following structure:
虽然 + A + 但 + 毕竟 + B + C
In this structure, A and B are reasons or characteristics, and C is a result or conclusion.
Here are some examples:
- 虽然 小 狼 看起来 可爱，但 毕竟 是 野生 动物，跟 它 打交道 时 一定 要 保持 警惕。
- 虽然 他 做 错 了 事情，但是 他 毕竟 还是 个 小孩儿，你 就 别 打 他 了。
毕竟 is used both in spoken and written Chinese.
