Usage notes

Collocations

Commonly pairs with 都 (dōu) or 也 (yě) in the main clause to emphasize universality, e.g., 无论如何都要坚持.

Common mistakes

Used as an adverb before the main clause, not as a conjunction before a subject-verb phrase like English 'no matter what'; say 无论如何，我都要去, not 无论如何我要去 (usually needs comma or pause).
