なんやかんや
의미: One way or another / when all is said and done — a breezy summary meaning things worked out despite complications, or that something is true regardless of the details.
なんやかんや wraps up messy, complicated situations into a single philosophical shrug. It acknowledges that things happened — various obstacles, arguments, detours — but ultimately the outcome is what matters. Originally a Kansai expression (the standard Tokyo equivalent is なんだかんだ), it has spread nationwide while retaining a slightly warmer, more laid-back feel than its eastern counterpart. It can preface a conclusion ('after everything...') or stand alone as a resigned acceptance of how things turned out.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- 深刻な問題を「なんやかんやで大丈夫」と軽く流すと無責任に見える (Dismissing a serious problem with 'nanyakanya it'll be fine' can come across as irresponsible)对严肃的问题轻飘飘地说'说来说去没问题的啦'会显得不负责任Quitarle importancia a un problema serio con un «nanyakanya, no pasa nada» puede dar una impresión de irresponsabilidad.심각한 문제를 '이런저런 해서 괜찮아'라고 가볍게 넘기면 무책임하게 보인다
흔한 실수
- Thinking it's only Kansai dialect — it is widely understood and used across Japan, though なんだかんだ is more standard in Tokyo
- Translating it too literally as 'what and what' instead of capturing the nuance of 'after everything'
