When to use Mood Adverbs 反正, 根本, 绝对, 白, 刚好 and 可
反正 means “anyway, in any case”: whatever the situation, the conclusion stays the same. It often answers a 不管… clause, and it can go before or after the subject: 反正我要去. 根本 means “at all” and is almost always used with a negative (不, 没, or the 不 in 听不懂) to deny something completely: 我根本不认识他 “I don’t know him at all”.
不管你去不去，反正我要去。
Whether you go or not, I’m going anyway.
