No Matter (无论...都)
Express 'no matter what/how/who, the result is the same'.
Pattern
无论/不管 + Question Word/A还是B, Subject + 都/也 + Result
Explanation
无论...都 (or 不管...都) expresses that regardless of any condition or variable, the result remains the same. It's followed by either a question word (谁, 什么, 怎么) or an A-or-B choice.
无论 is more formal/written while 不管 is more colloquial. Both must be paired with 都 or 也 in the result clause. This pattern emphasizes the unconditional nature of the conclusion.
