HSK 5 Adverbs
反正
Anyway / in any case (反正)
Structure 反正 + firm conclusion (whatever happens)
反正 (fǎnzhèng) says "never mind all that; the point is…": the conclusion won’t change. 不管你说什么,反正我不去 = "whatever you say, I’m not going anyway". It also plays things down: 别着急,反正还有时间 = "don’t worry, there’s plenty of time anyway". It marks a firm or reassuring stance regardless of the situation.
Examples
- 不管你说什么,反正我不去。
Whatever you say, I’m not going anyway.
- 别着急,反正还有时间。
Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time anyway.
- 反正都要做,早点开始吧。
We have to do it anyway, so let’s start early.
Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
