反正

• 拼音: fǎn zhèng
• 汉字拆解: 反 = 厂 (cliff) + 又 (hand), meaning reverse; 正 = 一 (one) + 止 (stop), meaning straight or correct

含义

Anyway; in any case; regardless. Used to indicate that the result or conclusion remains the same no matter what.

A very useful conversational adverb that signals 'it doesn't matter which way you look at it.' Often used to dismiss alternatives (反正都一样 = it's all the same anyway) or to express a firm decision (反正我不去 = I'm not going anyway). Adds a casual, decisive tone to statements.

例句

1. 反正明天不上班，我们今晚看电影吧。
2. 你不去也没关系，反正还有别人。
3. 反正我已经决定了，你不用再劝我。
