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.
Contents
反正 as "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."
[Disregarded Situation] ， 反正 ⋯⋯
Examples
- 不管 他 去 不 去，反正 我 要 去。No matter he's going or not, I'm going anyway.
- 不管 你 信 不 信，反正 我 信 了。No matter you believe this or not, I believe it anyway.
- 你 想 去 哪儿 就 去 哪儿 吧， 反正 我 无所谓。Go wherever you want. I don't really care anyway.
- 说 不 说 都 一样，反正 没有 人 会 听 我 的 意见。Speaking or not is all the same. Nobody is going to listen to what my opinion anyway.
- 他们 怎么 想 都 不 重要，反正 我 已经 决定 了。What they think doesn't matter. I made my decision anyway.
反正 for Giving An Emphasis On the Fact
Structure
反正, in this case, is used to convey a certainty or resolution. It‘s similar to 既然. It can be placed either at the beginning or the end while 既然 can only be placed at the beginning.
反正＋Condition，[Decision / Resolution]
Examples
- 反正 他们 不 来 了，咱们 自己 去 吧。They are not coming anyway, so let's just go by ourselves.
- 反正 我 也 不 需要，就 送 给 你 吧。I don't need it anyway. So I'll just give it to you.
- 反正 我 家 够 大，你们 今晚 都 住 这儿 吧。My house is big enough, you can all stay here tonight.
- 反正 大家 都 知道 了，你 还 怕 什么？Everybody knows about it now. So what are you still afraid of?
- 反正 我 已经 送 了 礼物，要 不 要 是 她 的 事。I've already given her the present. It's her business to take it or not.
