不管⋯⋯,都/也⋯⋯

Using 不管⋯⋯,都/也⋯⋯ to express 'no matter what happens'

Explanation

This structure is used when you want to emphasize that the action or result in the second clause still occurs, unaffected by the condition in the first clause. '不管' is equivalent to 'no matter' or 'regardless'. '都' or '也' is used in the second clause to affirm the certainty of the result. Example: No matter whether it rains or not, I will still go to meet him.
