The Mandarin Chinese word '反正 (fǎnzhèng)' is used to convey a sense of indifference, suggesting that despite the circumstances, the result or conclusion remains the same. It is equivalent to 'anyway' or 'anyhow' in English. This word is commonly used when the speaker wants to express that the outcome doesn't matter or is inevitable, regardless of what happens.
