不管

• 拼音: bù guǎn
• 汉字拆解: 不 = negative marker; 管 = 竹 (bamboo) + 官 (official, phonetic) — originally a bamboo tube, extended to 'manage'

含义

No matter; regardless of. A conjunction used to express that something remains true under all conditions.

Typically followed by a question word or paired options (A还是B), and often paired with 都 or 也 in the main clause. Similar to 无论 but slightly more colloquial. Very common in spoken Chinese for expressing determination or universal conditions.

例句

1. 不管天气怎么样，他每天都坚持跑步。
2. 不管你去还是不去，我都会去。
3. 不管遇到什么困难，我们都不应该放弃。

正确说法

• 不管多累，她都会完成作业。(No matter how tired she is, she will finish her homework.)
• 不管结果如何，我们尽力了。(Regardless of the result, we gave our best effort.)

错误说法

• 单独用'不管'结束句子 (Don't end a sentence with just 不管 — it needs a following clause with 都 or 也, e.g. 不管怎样，我都支持你)

起源与历史

不 (not) + 管 (to concern oneself with, to manage). The literal sense is 'not concerning oneself with [the conditions]', hence 'regardless of'.
